    No complaints other than tables being way too close together. As a tall(ish) person 5’10 my legs were jammed uncontrollably on the table legs. Also, you can’t help but be subjected to listening to the parties on either side of you. I felt uncomfortable for the first daters next to me. We were the flies on their table, not on my the wall.
