I have been to Roux a couple of times--and while I enjoy the cuisine and the service is good, I will never go back there! Because it is too freakin' loud!! I remembered the second time what I didn' t like about it the first time--it had been awhile--was there with a group for my daughter's birthday, and gave up trying to shout across the table to communicate with diners who were not right next to me.
It really ruined a fun evening and the good food--and I am someone who goes to loud rock concerts and enjoys them. So it wasn't just noisy, but over the top loud.
