My husband and I eat here often and the service and food are fine; however, on our last visit we were extremely disappointed. We asked to sit on the patio since it was 4:30 on a Friday and they were not busy. We were told that there was a large party and we couldn't sit outside. Less than 5 minutes later the hostess seated a two person couple outside. I have to question the ethics behind the hostess' decision to seat another couple in the same area we requested. Is this a normal practice for the restaurant to basically determine who is deemed worthy to sit outside. I'm extremely disappointed with the fact that now P.F. Changs has become elitist.
