| - Whilst staying at the Windmill Suites hotel across the street, I strolled over to watch the 4th quarter of the Super Bowl. It was Sunday, February 7th 2016, at 7:15pm. Their posted operating hours say they're open until 8:00pm on Sundays. I was properly attired in Arizona casual--nice new shorts and golf shirt, canvas loafers and socks, and a Seattle Seahawks ball cap. There were a half-dozen occupied tables in the dining room and nobody in the bar. The televisions around the dining room were tuned to the game. I wanted to watch the rest of the game and have a drink, maybe two if there was time, and see what they served for dessert. I walked in the front door, waited by the hostess stand to be seated, and was told by an employee, possibly the manager, in a loud voice from across the room that they were closed. I didn't make a scene. I turned on my heel and left, knowing that I would describe this experience for potential future patrons who understand the concept of karma. Although I'll be staying across the street all week, the weather is spectacular, and Tivoli Gardens is the only non-fast-food restaurant I can walk to in less than 20 minutes, I won't return. And I think you know what I think you should do if you're considering giving this place a try.
