I have frequented the epicenter often for several years, had a great time at the rooftop 210. Friends went to the diner to wait in line and get a table around 2am. Understandably this is a busy time, I asked the doorman if I could sit with my friends and he stated parties are only sat when everyone is there. Understandable. My party had already been sat for 4 of 7 people... I pointed to their table (from standing in line) the door man shrugged then stated "you're not getting in tonight" confused I asked why? "He stated tables are only sat when the entire party are present" which is understandable but my party was seated clearly. I asked if I could join my party at their table which was greeted with "you're not getting in tonight" my entire party ended up leaving because we could not meet. I understand the policy of seating a party once all are present but denying a patron after seating his party when it was clearly expressed more people would join isn't the patrons fault. Allowing someone to join their seated party can't possibly be such a hassle?
