We were regulars at the Lighthouse for a couple of years, but finally the noise drove us out. It was not so much the diners as the people at the high tables around the bar. There was a sixsome of men used to get in there on a regular basis, they were loud, obnoxious and not careful what they did with either the hands or their language. No longer eat there.

The noisiest IMHO is Glenview CC, the noise is intense, near the bar--

I agree. Only been there once and I keep meaning to go back. My wife and I and our guests had an excellent meal there. My lamb chops were great. As an added bonus, whoever was tending bar that day, made me one of the best Maker's Mark Manhattans (up) that I've ever had. I think that Demshar's is underappreciated.

That quote nails Bourdain, Ecuadog.


Okay, carry on...

Have to agree. Probably the noisiest place in TV area.
Staff shout, customers shout, even the cockroaches in the kitchen shout. Bedlam!

Guess I'm not as worldly as some of you. The only thing I liked was the desert menu,
