We love the Kove collection of restaurants and dine in their various restaurants at least 1-2 times per week. Good quality food, good service. HOWEVER, their music is intrusive, repetitive and just does not fit in some of their restaurants like Bilboa. The owner maintains strict control over the volume so that managers cannot respond to the multiple requests from various tables to turn down the "thump, thump" saying the owner wants to create a "vibrant" environment. Great for a bar, less so for eating.
So, if you want to have a nice conversation and a relaxing dinner I would recommend a quieter choice of restaurants.
