Quiet restaurant, please!

[Sylph]

Some of my favorite restaurants, like K & L Bistro and Monti's, are so noisy you can barely have a conversation. I want to go out with old friends next week to enjoy good food and also catch up on what's new. Anybody know of a quiet restaurant? (Not quiet because nobody goes there, but because they have good acoustics.)
Thanks!

No suggestions? I may be forced to entertain in my own home...argggh!

And I suggest you have it catered and let us know how it went.

That's an idea...I've never done it. The cost might discourage me from trying it, but the food would be better!

Choosing the right table makes a big difference. At K & L Bistro, table #1 (the first on the banquette by the door) is very pleasant, sound-wise, as is the table by the kitchen.
There are areas at Saint Rose where conversation is entirely easy and pleasant. Simply tell them what you want--i.e., a quiet place where we can talk easily--when you make the reservation.

I'm not a fan of Monti's so I can make recommendations there but there are areas at Restaurant Eloise that are perfect for conversation. At Mosaic in Forestville, too.

Have you tried St Rose, 3 miles out of town west of sebastopol...very nice space, good food and if it is warm you can eat outside in the garden, very romantic

I was looking at the postings on the bulletin board at Laguna Farm yesterday and there was a flyer from an aspiring private chef looking to prepare meals for you and your guests at your home. Sorry I don't have more information, perhaps another Wacco reader knows the details, or you could stop by and look at the board.

Peter Lowells in Sebastopol is a quiet restaurant. On the high end scale, John Ash is quiet. And Eloise is probably quiet because of their carpet, but I haven't been since they took over that spot.

Thanks so much for the suggestions! I want to try all of the places I haven't been to yet, like Eloise.
