Having not gone to Hard Rock since I was a pre-teen, my memory is a bit hazy as to how loud the place really was back then. We went (6 of us) on a Monday evening and the place was pretty empty...I'm thinking maybe it was the lack of crowd to absorb the audio that caused the incredibly loud ambient noise. It was so loud that by the time I was almost done with dinner I was nauseous (and I'm a 25 year old female who should NOT be that sensitive to loud music).\r

Besides the surprisingly annoying ""background"" music, the crew was fantastic and the food was good. Their seasoned fries are delicious and makes up for the slightly higher price ranges for what other reviewers call ""bar food.""You're eating at a tourist hangout, so of course it'll be a bit elevated. \r

Ultimately the Hard Rock offers a great experience, but just don't go there expecting to have any sort of conversation with your group. The patio is a bit quieter, so if it's a nice night, grab a spot out there.
Pros: Outgoing servers, full bar, decor
Cons: Loud, busy on weekends, empty on weekdays
