Like I said, I'd not been there for dinner, just lunch, so didn't experience the noise.

I like the Grand House, it's generally not a loud place at all, but the quality of the food has, in my opinion, taken a turn for the worse over the last year or so. I now frequent Fung's Kitchen on 23rd which is superior in just about all respects (except atmosphere).
I went to Grand House this past Friday night. They had a jazz/pop standards combo in there. Definitely NOT good for conversation. We were practically screaming at each other. The music was nice, but it was loud - very loud.

I agree with you on the food quality. The only reason I went was because friends had already selected the place. It's fallen off my "go to" list.
