Today we were eating at our "favorite" downtown location of El Fenix and the "new" addition to the very loud music gave me a headache. This addition was completly unneeded the restaurant is a great meeting place for clients
and for people to talk business and friends to visit. We have eaten at this location for over 50 years and brought our children up coming to El Fenix. The "new" owners really have made a mistake adding this music, it is hard to give the
wait people an order even, let alone visit. The couple we were with today drove 90 miles to come to El Fenix and eat and
visit. Visiting was out of the question. I told Elle that the music was terrible as we were leaving, she could barely hear me. Food was great as usual don't mess with it. Maybe play that music when no one is there only. Marian Gibson

do make a difference and listen to us.
