When I was a kid my parents made it point to have dinner together every night. When my sister and I got older and started working, we'd have Sunday dinners together. That lasted even when we moved out.

Having a good conversation over dinner is one of life's greatest pleasures IMHO. Being able to speak, have a good convo, and hear yourself makes or breaks a restaurant for me.

I dislike the loud music that makes you hurry up, eat, and get out of there.
