Table for Two

Did you know good food tastes better in a quiet restaurant?

Romantic lighting and a quiet atmosphere can really enhance a meal. It’s not just the ambiance – you’ll actually TASTE better. Noise and lighting draws our attention away from subtle taste sensations. In one study – people actually used more salt on their meal with those distractions - the same food tasted more bland than it did in the subdued setting.
