Don't you just hate it when you are getting together with people for dinner and as you exit to leave you realize you have not had one decent conversation due to the noise? You've shouted out a few highlights of your story but everyone is smiling at the sad stories and saying "yes" when you haven't posed a question. It seems the older I get the more I find myself saying, "let's just go some place quiet to eat". Well, I must not be alone in that thought because last year "Town & Country " magazine published an article titled "The Quietest Restaurants In the World". So I thought I'd share a few of these places with you!
