A very very loud restaurant. We were tired from driving all day, so we stayed, but would have walked out normally.

点评:We had been driving all day and had made reservations at 5:45 thinking maybe we would miss the usual "let's get as loud as we possibly can" at dinner time (what I call 3rd grade recess). We were seated, thankfully, against a wall but that didn't help much. Exhausted, though we had planned a decent meal, we just ordered chicken strips and calamari appetizers. Average. The poor waitress (who was excellent) initially startled us when she first came to the table as she had to yell, "Hello! Can I get you something to drink!" I have no idea how many people were in the rest of the restaurant (we were seated in a side area) but the 10-12 people in this area we were in sounded like 30 ...incredibly loud, children running around tables, screeching... the usual at restaurants today regardless of price (As a matter of fact, most fast food chains are quieter). When the waitress brought us our drinks I showed her my dB meter. "What does that say?" I asked. She replied, "86." "And what does it say under that?" "Food blender." That is how loud it was and I told her she could be hurting her hearing. It did quite down once the yellers left, 45 minutes later, but we were done now too. I have no idea how good the food may have been as the noise was intolerable. We didn't feel like searching so we stayed. But for many of us - and I've always hated spending money and yelling to talk in a restaurant - we walk out now. They may have awesomely awesome food but I don't care if I'm going to experience hearing loss just to eat fish and chips.
翻译:我们开了一整天的车,在 5:45 就预定了座位,以为晚餐时间(我称之为三年级休息时间)我们可能会错过通常的“让我们尽可能大声一点”的用餐时间。谢天谢地,我们靠墙坐着,但这并没有多大帮助。虽然我们计划了一顿不错的饭菜,但我们筋疲力尽,只点了鸡肉条和鱿鱼开胃菜。一般。可怜的女服务员(她很优秀)刚到桌边时吓了我们一跳,因为她不得不大喊:“你好!我可以给你拿点喝的吗!”我不知道餐厅其他地方有多少人(我们坐在侧面区域),但我们所在的这个区域的 10-12 个人听起来就像 30 个人一样……非常吵,孩子们在桌子周围跑来跑去,尖叫着……如今无论价格如何,餐厅里都是这样(事实上,大多数快餐连锁店都比较安静)。当女服务员给我们端来饮料时,我给她看了我的分贝计。“那是什么?”我问道。她回答说:“86。”“那下面写的是什么?”“食物搅拌机。”声音就是这么大,我告诉她,这可能会损害她的听力。45 分钟后,喊叫者离开后,声音确实小了下来,但现在我们也吃完了。我不知道食物有多好吃,因为噪音让人无法忍受。我们不想找,所以就留下来了。但对于我们中的许多人来说——我一直讨厌在餐厅里花钱和大喊大叫——我们现在就走了。他们可能有非常棒的食物,但我不在乎我会因为吃炸鱼和薯条而失去听力。
