The Wash Post food critic is now starting to rate restaurants for noise level, so it's starting to bother others, too!
You may recall that one of the reasons we ended up at Tavira that time is that Karl likes it because it's usually quiet. Last time we went back there (Friday), the staff obviously had missed us. We had 3 waiters tussling over who got to take our order, and they gave us a gratis antipasto platter of Spanish ham and cheese and olives. (They wanted to give us wine, but no one at the table but me would have been drinking any of it ... we had Liz Partan along, but she's only 15.)
