| - Tried to go here for a large lunch today, there was a Groupon available, and didn't specify any restrictions. However just to be sure, we called ahead, prior to purchasing the Groupon, and asked repeatedly if the Groupon could be used for lunch. The person who answered the phone said yes, then put the phone down to double check with a manager or co-worker, came back and said yes again. We asked again, are you sure it can be used for lunch, for anything on the menu? Again, the answer was yes. We walked to the restaurant and were seated by a very pleasant waitress and when she asked if it would be all on one check we said yes and we have a Groupon. She said ok let me make sure that can be used for lunch...already were worried. The manager comes over and rudely just states, "Groupon can only be used for dinner" and walks away. We protest to the waitress and explain that we called ahead to make sure, she apologizes nicely and gets the manager back. We explain that we called ahead, and he again rudely states, "It's only for dinner". We ask if he can honor it or match the expected discount (and then mark the Groupon as used or void it somehow, we didn't want to double dip on the discount or anything) due to the obvious misinformation we were provided when we called. He says no. We again explain that we didn't appreciate the terrible experience thus far and would hope he would somehow honor our expectations. He again says no, Groupon is only for dinner, he (THE MANAGER) can't do anything about it. We give it one last shot and say we are going to get up and leave if he doesn't honor it and continues the dismissive attitude. He shrugged his shoulders and says he can't do it. No apology, and he let us walk out. So, basically we will not be going back, ever; which is too bad because we live across the street and hadn't been before. It seemed nice.
