Ate a a fancy steakhouse in Rockville. Smallish dining room. Mostly booths and tables for 2 or 4. Several tables were pushed together for a gathering of 12 20-30 somethings having a really loud and ruckus conversation including howling and laughing really loud. Couldn’t hear ourselves over their noise. Other tables were staring at them and obviously upset, too. Management wouldn’t say anything to them. Offered to move us to the far corner. But it’s a small dining room and the noise would have carried. I got up and asked them (angrily, to be honest) to tone it down. Several other guests thanked me. On the way out, a different server from ours thanked me, too. Just a terrible experience and a waste of $$$$.
