Tables are close together but there is an acoustically tiled ceiling. The chairs are leather too, so there is some additional material to soak up the sound.

Was very loud on lunch on a Tuesday. Mainly business people with loud discussions. They do have outside seating, but it was raining.

The main dining area and bar are very loud. Outside seating is extremely loud as it's right on 116th Street where traffic is flying by at 50mph. There is a room to the right when you walk in that is tolerable, although they don't seem to seat people in there unless it's busy.

Was crazy loud when I was here. To be fair it was lunch on a Friday so it's likely not always like this. Lot's of millennials enjoying the day, loudly.

Several loud parties in a small area don't add up to good conditions for the hard of hearing. Probably would be better not on a Saturday morning at 10am.

Quite loud inside on a Saturday morning at 10am. The outside seating isn't bad though.

The perimeter seating is best. The tables are big and there is a decent amount of space so it doesn't feel like your neighbors are in your conversation.

I was here at off hours and was seated next to a loud family. The server very graciously offered me a table further away from them when I whispered to her that I was hard of hearing.

It can get very loud here when busy. Outside is your best bet. Team Trivia on Wednesdays at 7:30pm should be avoided at all costs, although last time I was there they had stopped playing music in-between questions. There is a table at the very back left, in front of the kids area,that is reasonably quiet, even when the restaurant is busy...so long as there are no kids playing in it!

Loud and lively dining room. Tile floor and unfinished ceiling. There is outdoor seating. It's on the road but there is sidewalk and parked cars between you and the road.

This is one of the louder places and often has a band playing too. However, I noticed today that they have a sign in the entrance that says they can seat you in a quiet area. It appears that the quiet areas are the covered/heated patio, and the roof. Nice to see a restaurant caring about the hard of hearing.

I was there during lunch and sat in the bar. They have some tables on the far side of the bar that have very high backs. This type of table set up is usually good to block or absorb noise and it was. The bar was only half full, so it could be worse at busy times, but it was very pleasant during my visit. My sound meter showed a peak of 72dbA.

Subdued atmosphere. Crowded restaurant but everyone is talking quietly.

Dull roar. Tables in the corners are best. Tables aren't overly close.

About half full when I was here. Pretty loud. I could imagine it very loud with more people.

Enjoyed the quiet atmosphere, although our server spoke very softly, and there was some soft music in the background; it was not distracting. We were able to have a nice quite conversation.

Tables are spaced well apart and lots of soft materials. Reasonably quiet inside and there is a patio outside.

I've been here several times. I try to go when it's not busy, as it can get REALLY loud. Some of the tables are very close together. You can almost feel like you're sitting with the group next to you. If it's busy, the bar is a good choice as it's a little shielded from the main dining area. Outside is even better if the weather is co-operative. You can also get a to-go order and sit in the mall food court, which lacks ambiance, but is much easier on the ears. Sound levels in the restaurant when it's busy have been as high as 84dB, with averages at 81dB - and that is in the bar - which is one of the quieter spots.

Very quiet when I was here, but it was not very crowded.

I was here at 2 PM on a Saturday, we sat in the second-level seating area and the noise-level was acceptable because it was away from the main dinning area. We have dined outside previously, it was more difficult to hear as the seating is on the corner of a busy intersection with pedestrians, vehicles and music from outside speakers.

Small restaurant only about seven tables, so even if fully packed I doubt it could get too loud. The Italian background music is at enough volume so you can't directly here the table next to you, yet not too loud. The tables are far enough apart. Four of the tables have a kind of half way wrap around couch seating which also works to dampen noise. This is truly a great spot for the hard of hearing!

Pretty loud in the restaurant. The bar is a bit raucous. The perfect spot is on their windowed patio.

Outside is ideal. Inside not bad either. The restaurant is sectioned off so you can get away from loud parties if necessary. The ceiling does have some noise absorbing panels on it too.

Very noisy inside. The noise seems to reflect off of the low natural wood ceiling. There is very pleasant outdoor seating, however.

Not overly crowded while I was here. Tables aren't overly close. There are curtains which could absorb a little noise.

Music is not too loud. Tables not too close together. There is acoustic tile hanging from the ceiling. Not overly crowded.

It's loud. There are some wooden pallets hanging from the ceiling, but nothing soft at all to absorb sound.

One of our patients reports this is a quiet place to eat.

Even at 5:30pm on a Friday (not busy yet), it is loud. The floors are concrete, the chairs are metal and the ceilings are very high with exposed piping---thus it is very reverberant. It is an open-concept layout, too, so tables are close to one another. It's a great atmosphere and the food is good, but it is pretty acoustically unappealing.

Loud bar. Not much in the way of sound absorbance here, except all the people. Off hours are your best bet here.

This is a very loud sports bar atmosphere with both music and many TV's on at the same time. Very difficult to hear. There is outside seating which is reasonably quiet.

We frequently visit. It's almost always loud in the evenings. High ceilings and a tight space make for a challenging environment. There is outdoor seating, which tends to be fairly quiet, unless you go on a Wednesday night when they have live music outside.

Was surprisingly quiet during my visit. Mostly older couples. I could imagine it getting loud later in the evening. They have outdoor seating, so that's an option if it's too loud inside.
