I'm sure on game days it might be a bit more noisy/bustling, but there's a separator between the bar/high top area and the 'dining room' so on a Saturday night, it was reasonable volume to have a conversation over dinner. Free parking is available right outside in a small lot, food was tasty and came out in a timely manner, happy to find another restaurant we enjoy in the area.
