This place is special to us, so when we recently had a disappointing experience there, my husband and I were really surprised. The regular dining room is really nice- on a recent Sunday evening the only place to dine was in the open area near the kitchen. It was noisy and had terrible loud music, appealing to an entirely different crowd. If they added acoustical panels on the wall the terrible music might not be so bad, then people won't yell over each other while eating and drinking... The food is excellent, but the identity of the restaurant seems confused.
