julesjonesMy previous post, complaining about the noise in an otherwise very nice restaurant, has struck a chord. It doesn't surprise me, as fandom includes a lot of people who are highly sociable in the right circumstances but who think that "right circumstances" includes "not having to shout over the noise". So if anyone wants to commend favourite eateries that are quiet at least some of the time, go ahead...
The one local to me that I mentioned in the comment thread is the Jade Garden in Manchester. It can get noisy when it's full (or when there's a party of very drunk and very loud Glaswegians on the next table...), but it doesn't have that "all hard surfaces" design ethos that makes for echoing noise, and it doesn't do loud piped music, at least not at the times I normally go in there. And the food's good. :-)
