Our group of nearly 25 had reservations this evening as a kind of family/friend/ in membrance reunion. For most of us, it was the first time in this restaurant. There were 5 physicians and several engineers, teachers, professors, and other professionals in this group; most of the group was from Africa. I say this to give you an idea of the nature of our group. Reservations had already been made so when we came in, we expected to be seated. The tables were not yet arranged so we were patient during the confusion of seating us all. The food was okay... In fact, I think that most of us would have been tempted to go again had the service at the end of our meal not been so impolite. They wanted us to leave at 6:00 p.m. though at least 15 minutes of our time was wasted in seating. Anyway, that's when the comments started about getting us out of our seats and out of the restaurant began; that's when the bumping (3 times that we know of) came about when the waitress bumped up against several members of our group..... The husband to one of the women who was bumped several times and I went to speak to the lady in charge that evening; she seemed somewhat apologetic, however she insisted that people were waiting for our seats.
She and her staff will certainly never have to worry about seeing any of us in her restaurant again; we got the message that our patronage was not appreciated. Never again!
