My boyfriend and I were having a romantic dinner when a DJ set up right behind his chair and began playing loud dance music for the birthday group next to us. They all started clapping, screaming and dancing. It was SOOOO loud that I couldn't believe we were expected to continue to eat a meal, much less have conversation. We complained and were reseated, although it was still loud, and then the maitre d' came over and said that our new table was reserved and moved us back to our original table. Needless to say, the romantic dinner was basically ruined, and we asked for the check with two courses left to go. They still charged us the full amount, and when I told the hostess it was too loud, she said, ""Well, it's Saturday night."" Well, last I checked, this was supposed to be a restaurant, not a dance club. I COULD NOT BELIEVE that they not only refused to remedy the situation (most restaurants would have apologized and given a discount), but were so rude about it!!!
