On a warm summer August evening I booked a table at Quince to have dinner with friends and to catch up with each other’s lives. We could not have a decent conversation due to the noise level. We left feeling frustrated and with the feeling we must be reaching the age of fuddy-duddies ( we are 60’ish). Subsequently with another group of friends at Zucca we actually complained to the waiter.
I tend not to go to restaurants as often now, and will definitely not go if they have open access to the street which only amplifies the noise.
I feel the same about the music that is blasted out in the Holt Renfrew store, my friends tell me they don’t care about us, it is all about the younger crowd. Hey- I am a baby boomer, I am accustomed to being THE target market!
When you compile the list of quiet restaurants, please let me know.
