I have serious issues with any place that doesn't allow a reasonably sized table (in our case, 4 guests) to be seated until the entire party has arrived. My friend and I showed up on time for our reservation on the patio and were advised by the hostess that we would not be seated until our other two friends arrived. We were then invited to order drinks in the "waiting area" in the interim. To be clear, this waiting area was not even a proper bar space. It was simply a crowded area at the entrance of the patio filled with other frustrated and cranky and unseated guests. Sorry, but I'm not paying to enjoy my drink while being bumped and elbowed by other guests who also made the unforgivable mistake of showing up without their entire party.
I'm only giving Terroni a second star because the food wasn't offensive (although not out of this world) and our server was pleasant enough.
But at the end of the day, I firmly believe that a guest's overall experience is very much influenced by the type of welcome they receive. When guests arrive, welcome them with open arms, be grateful that they have chosen your business to dine at and be gracious. To echo other reviewers, Terroni, get over yourself.
