Restaurant Noise Review: Fishmongers

Fishmongers:  Durham, NC – Tuesday, May 3, 2015, 7pm

Restaurant Noise Decibel Rating: 76 dB

Sound Equivalent: Chamber Music

Conversation: Raised voices and repetitions necessary

Rating:        

Comments: Hard to follow our group of 4 when talking together.  The wide open restaurant area with expansive windows and high ceilings made frequent repetitions necessary – even at non-peak restaurant hours.  Hard surfaces such as wooden chairs/tables and floors caused the reverberation that interfered with our conversation.  Enjoyed the food but were frustrated with poor continuity of our conversation.
