Exposed vents and intentional lack of sound absorbing materials to make the dining experience similar to a Jr High cafeteria at noon. Lol.

Starlight (or Starlite? I forget how it was spelled) vibes. Loudest place I ever had a meal.

My wife called me old when I started complaining about how loud places were. Turns out it’s intentional! They want you to eat fast and leave so another paying customer can take your place, or you drink more alcohol to compensate.

So no, wifey, it’s not cool…it’s a mildly tortuous room that we spent money in. Lol.

Yeah. We were sampling random 'staurants for dates and Starlight was just... obscene. And it's not like we went at 11 in the evening or anything!

I tried to find a clip of the scene in Independence Day in response to this -- the last line being the relevant bit -- but failed. Text will have to do.
