After being a (somewhat regular) customer for just over a year - we encountered a really poor experience.... Now that the snowbirds are mostly gone - we went for the wings and music Thursday - which normally is a good time, We drink and the girls "try" to dance and all is good. The band is usually really good and some of the servers are really great. Well, Tonight we went in (3 of us this time) and were told we could not sit a particular table as it is only for 4 - "reserved for 4 people not 3". Keep in mind the place was empty - really empty. Then we move to a bar top table set up for 10. I ordered a beer and a shot and our friend ordered a beer - which was just going to get us warmed up for the drinking... then we were given 2 plates - not 3 for the wings. When I asked why not 3 plates for the 3 of us - I was told due to the fact that my girlfriend was drinking water and not alcohol or soda - she could not have a plate for wings..... Well my girlfriend does not drink soda or alcohol.... and this has me a bit steamed now... Then I was then told this rule has been in place for a long time, yet being we have been there over 40 times in a year and never heard of this "rule" until tonight... we decided to leave.
We will not go back - they obviously do not need the money so I guess both sides are okay with this decision.
Brookside should be named Badside - seems to bring that out in both of us.
