So apparently they are really serious about the reservations here.
I walked in and asked for a single seat. Hopeful that they would allow me to experience their restaurant for just 25 minutes.
I was asked promptly if I had a reservation, I said no, but this never deterred me in the past at any restaurant with open seats. The first staff member said "no problem, just one moment"
A few seconds later a second staff member walked up and said "I am sorry, we are fully booked, and we are booked all night"
I look over and point to the bar and ask "even at the open seats at the bar?"
She said "yeah even at those open seats, we book them too..."
So I walked away with a dry mouth and an appetite.
Thanks for nothing...
