I agree with you Marmar,
We just got back last night...had dinner at Chefs on Tuesday night. We are a couple in our 40's celebrating our anniversary and we're looking forward to a somewhat romantic dinner there.
We were seated in the middle of a large row of tables, only ones. No sooner did we order and a large family with small children was seated a mere 5 inches from my right side. 5 minutes later, a large family with small children was seated direstly five inches from my left side with a large man right next to my wife.
He was closer to her than I was, LOL! The second family was loud and boisterous and made for a very uncomfortable situation, so as soon as our food arrived, which was not great, the cassoulet was not good, we quietly asked for our check, dropped $100 and high-tailed it out of there.
I recommend if you are a couple to splurge for the Bistro upstairs for a bit more quiet and space.
