We came in here after an ice hockey game from the Extreme Ice Center right down the road. Upon entering we noticed there was one couple in the restaurant (two people), that was it.
We came in as two people but could have had up to 30 people patronize the small uncrowded restaurant. When asked how many people I said it could be between 2 and 20 people. I asked where we could sit and expand to in case we needed too as the kids like to sit together. The waitress said, "sit anywhere you want, we aren't crowded".
The owner apparently had other ideas. He came over and very unprofessionally stated that he needed the other seats for the Saturday night rush. Keep in mind this was 4:30pm in the afternoon and we were taking up two tables at the time for 6 people? Here we were trying to spend money in his place and he wanted to save seats for other people, I didn't understand.
I immediately sent out a text to the team to NOT come to Rossini's as the owner doesn't want our business. At least 7 families went elsewhere.
His tone and the fact he kept staring at us the entire time enraged me but I kept my cool. I felt very un-welcomed.
On the positive side the waitress was extremely nice and seemed embarrassed by the owner's actions. The kids said the food was good.(we only stayed for the kids). I ended up eating at Cook-Out down the street as I wasn't going to give this man anymore of my money.
Needless to say we will not be back and we will let the ice rink and the organizers of upcoming ice hockey tournaments know that the teams are not welcomed in the restaurant.
