Different fishes [洋食】]

Recently for lunch, I had fish done different styles: battered with garden salad and grilled with salad and a potato.
 
The battered fish with garden salad was decent on portion and came with a slice of lemon and Mayonnaise prepared by the cafe itself.  The mayonnaise tasted different from the store-bought variety and I asked for a second portion of it. 
 
The food was good, but I don't understand why cafe owners like having concrete floors and exposed ceilings, which made for awful acoustics when customers inevitably dragged or pushed their chairs, causing a horrible screeching sound when  the metal or wooden legs of the chairs scrapped against bare concrete.  Conversations across the table were also painful, as bare walls, concrete floors and exposed ceilings create a perfect environment for echos to bounce off plenty of surfaces.
 
 
The grilled fish with salad and potato was more affordable than the previous fish lunch, but somehow, even if an entire potato with butter instead, I somehow felt that the portion wasn't sufficient for lunch.  I wished the potato was cooked a little longer, and came to the table a little hotter so that the butter would melt sizzlingly into the potato.  That would be really yummy!
