| - I'll be honest, the food here is pretty good. Interesting take on southern. And... never bring guests here. It's the ridiculous management that is the issue. I took a team of employees there for a lunch. I also invited a new team member to meet us there. I assured them it wouldn't be a big deal for them to join in. ... I was WRONG. First, I asked the server if they wouldn't mind if I brought a chair over to our table. The server tilted their head to the side apologetically, "I'm so sorry, we can't." ... huh? "Well, we have someone joining us. They aren't ordering anything. Just coming to meet everyone." "I'm sorry, the manager doesn't allow us to add chairs." The server looked almost embarrassed to be saying something so silly. I thought it was bizarre, but since there were only a few people in the restaurant I figured we could just switch to a larger table and this manager would be satisfied. "Can we switch to the next table?" Mind you, my other guests already had their food, so this would inconvenience them quite a bit at this point, but I had already invited someone to join us. "Sure. We can do that." "Great! Thank you so much." I stood up to help everyone move over. "Oh no, im sorry, you have to wait for your other party member to come to switch tables." ... seriously? I have to wait for my guest to get here and awkwardly stand at the door while we move our plates and drinks and settings? "Can you ask your manager if it would be okay for us to go ahead and move over? Or to pull a chair over? I promised my guest it wouldn't be a big deal if they stopped in." So they asked. And this dude literally stood there 20 feet from me and told his server to come tell me no. Inconsiderate chicken couldnt even step a few feet to tell us sorry and give us a good reason. Just that he doesn't want to let us, so he doesn't have to. It was late afternoon and very quiet in the restaurant. There was no good reason to put us in that position. It was embarrassing for me and for my guests. I will not be returning. Nor will I encourage anyone else to go. Why pay so much money to be treated so badly. Even if the food was amazing, it's not worth you or your guests being treated like worthless cattle by people who should care a little more about their customers and their business.
