Tried to go here for brunch with my family from out of town. Not super busy, but they only had seating for 2, and we were looking for a table for 3. They offered to sit us at a table for 2, or for us to eat on their un-heated patio. We offered to have a drink on the patio, and to settle up when a table for 3 opened in the restaurant. The host refused with a huge smile and said it was "one or the other". Even if we settled our bill.. Sadly I will never be returning as we were happily turned away by the host of By The Way, and had a much warmer welcome across the street. Avoid if you can.
