Recently walked in with a friend for lunch. Person inside the door says welcome. I then say could we get a table for two for lunch. As Im saying that Im looking around and notice the are several open tables with no one waiting. They then ask if I have a reservatiion. I reply no. The other interesting thing is that its around 12:45. They offer us a seat at the bar for full service. We were dressed casually but not badly. I truly felt we were denied a table due to not looking the right way.
Ive actually eaten there several times including once during the Republican Convention and thats why I came back. But this time I found somewhere else to spend my money. Have enough good choices without being insulted.
