| - It's been two days now, and I still don't understand it.
First, what you want to know. The food is great, service is friendly and accomodating. We had nachos, carne asada and pork shoulder tacos and even cubano sandwiches, all good. Great server too. Kudos.
What I can't understand it... I show up with two other adults and a child. We're told a table won't be ready for 20 minutes (the big one in the middle with a sign on it? I don't know, the website says no reservations and when I called 30min earlier I wasn't asked if I wanted to make one). OK fine, we'll sit at the bar and drink. Three adults, three alcoholic drinks. One kid, one kid drink.
But then, the bartender tells me 'i'd prefer you didn't sit at the bar if you're waiting for a table, people are gonna come in and want to sit at the bar to drink.'
Wha? What am I doing? And the $20 I'm spending here doesn't count? And I'm gonna order food too, they're not! So you want a 4 meals and drinks off your bar just in case someone comes in? She didn't see my point, and she was clearly busy (not making drinks for people at the bar, but for PEOPLE EATING FOOD AT TABLES).
Fortunately, a table came available upstairs and we took our wonderment (and our mojitos with wonderful mint) with us to dinner, which we enjoyed (and even took some home, which we enjoyed again).
I'll be back, even without a Groupon (note, that's why we were there), and maybe even just to sit at the bar for an hour or so, lingering over a single drink, but not eating anything, just like the bartender wants. But I still don't understand it.
