A couple of weeks ago we went with friends to Simple on Mt Pleasant. It was 7:30 on a Saturday night, and we knew that if we walked out we would have difficulty finding a table for 6 at another restaurant in the area, so we reluctantly stayed. Frankly, it was unbearable. We each order one dish and left as soon as possible.
Before leaving we mentioned to the waitperson that we had enjoyed the food, we found her to be a very pleasant person (she had recommended an excellent wine which I would have enjoyed having some more of), but that the noise in this small restaurant was so annoying that we (all) would never come back.
She mentioned that the management was aware of the problem but they did not yet have enough money to put up some sound proofing. The restaurant was full, but it seems not profitable enough to put in some sound absorbing tiles, or whatever it would take.
