    I used to be a regular that would eat at the bar prior to Covid. When I returned post Covid, the music was too loud in the bar so you couldn't have a conversation without a raised voice. I would eat between 6:30 and 9 pm. I did ask to have the music turned down a bit (which they did a couple on a couple of occasions) but was told by the host at one point that it was part of the ambiance. I tried a couple of more times and decided it wasn't for me. I always enjoyed the food, so I decided to try this past Saturday for lunch with my family. Everything was spot on. My boyfriend and I go out weekly for cocktails and dinner on the weekends and sometimes on a weeknight. We like to sit at the bar. We will try again soon on a Friday or Saturday evening and hope that we can enjoy an evening of cocktails and great food without having to raise our voices to enjoy our conversation. We'd be happy to be able to add Francesca's Amici to our rotation.
