I absolutely love Bighams. It's our "Go to" bar for years now, but last night was a terrible experience. We shouldn't have to be jammed packed at the bar looking at tons of empty tables. I asked why it was like that and was told it was to help out the kitchen. I understand they don't want to get backed up, but at least let people sit and wait for hours. Some of our party left because they couldn't enjoy themselves. Thankfully I asked a gentleman who was sitting alone if we could join him and he couldn't have been more welcoming. If it wasn't for him, I'm not even sure when we would've gotten seated.
On a positive note, our server was super sweet and on top of things, which was much appreciated.
Unfortunately, I can't say I'll be back anytime soon if this is the new system of seating tables.
