I walked by and saw the patio looked awesome so I bought a coffee inside and took a seat outside. Thirty seconds later the server comes behind me and says, "Sorry, only reserved seating on the patio" and then scampers away without even looking at me. Pretty dehumanizing.
So I go inside and ask the kitchen people what the deal is, since there are a lot of seats available on the patio The one guy just shrugs helplessly while the girl doesn't make eye contact with me and explains, basically, "thems the rules."
Bad experience and won't be going back again.
