"You need to understand difference between regular table for 3 and communal table for 20 people."
"Seating in the back (technically side) room is limited to high tabled with stools, so not only is it uncomfortable, it's a cramped table when you're sharing dishes and it's hard to interact with people around the table."
"It's so cramped that diners and servers have to brush/squeeze by your seat, and it takes away from the meal a bit."
"The place like many others in the area is very noisy and crowded."
