I also hate restaurants that have televisions on. Isn't the point of going out to not watch TV? I'm old-fashioned, I guess.Leahhttp://www.leahsthoughts.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5015631545760338686.post-48336453593578560492011-06-06T11:40:40.084-07:002011-06-06T11:40:40.084-07:00Just recently my family sat in a favorite restaura...Just recently my family sat in a favorite restaurant in NYC called "Noho Star" and noticed a difference. It felt like there was a big fuzzy bear in the room. The tinny sounds of the business were softened somehow and as we peered around this place we go to despite the noise level, we found they has lined the undersides of every single table with thick fat foam, the kind that soundproof booths have on the walls. It made such a pleasant difference. I agree with you Thelma, I usually dine out for festive reasons one of the main ones being, visiting with whoever I am with. Thanks for your thoughts!

It's inconceivable to have to shout in order to be heard because this just kills the flow of the conversation. Also, while I have two children of my own and love kids, I find it irritating for parents to not supervise their children and have them running around the buffet table or the dining area. I would most definitely cross off my list any restaurant that does not provide a good dining experience where I can relax and enjoy my meal and good table conversation!Bellahttp://gypsyroxylee.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5015631545760338686.post-78176443117230514142011-06-05T18:43:12.741-07:002011-06-05T18:43:12.741-07:00Carol, why don't you leave a list?

When I go to a restaurant, it is either to talk or to write. Maybe I should seek out and share a list of conversation-friendly restaurants in my area too (Southeastern Virginia).Carol Applehttp://www.carolsnotes.netnoreply@blogger.com
