re: Sitting at a table in Muriel's

I have to tell you, it was packed (with more than one large table), loud and the operation was like a huge conveyor belt. Friendly, but sort of impersonal service. And while were not exactly "rushed", no time was wasted. The vibe reminded me, in a way, of those big named satellite restaurants they stick in Vegas or maybe Orlando. And there were plenty of tourists in the place.

The food was competent, but nothing special. I'm sure it's fine for some people, but I see no reason to return.
