Thanks for the great report Pat!
On the loud music question, we have finally got to the point where, if the music is obnoxiously loud, we politely ask that they turn it down when we walk in. We have done this on a number of occasions and it always worked both at home and in SXM. I doubt that many other diners request loud music but if they did I'm sure the employee would tell us. Doing this may seem a bit over the top, but I figure we are doing the restaurant a favor and they can always say no.
