You know, I know they have the pockets to get through some lean times, that is a given. I had heard from many that the restaurant was really loud. Then, I had heard from others that the owners designed it this way to try and recreate the NO vibe.
If that is true, they need to revisit their market research, BR is much more than 80-90 miles away from NO. If this was not true, then BR would have many more great dining options.
I casually mentioned the noise to the waitstaff, watching to see what they thought. Their response was that it was way too loud and that they wish they could wear earplugs to protect their hearing and that the restaurant had plans to add eggcrate material to the underside of the tables to mitigate the noise levels. Hmmm......
Personally, I have been in louder restaurants and didn't see that much of a problem, but since they seem to be addressing it, may they are seeing that BR may not be ready for the NO Friday lunch vibe.
I think they need to worry more about the BOH first.

That's interesting and its nice to know they plan to address it.
I've never had a problem hearing in the NO venue. It's loud, but not so loud that I can't hear.

I've only been once, but it was the loudest restaurant I've ever been in.

I have only a couple of times, and only when the indoor playground was completely full of 4 and 5 year olds.
