So I give them ten stars for the food, and ten for our waiter. I'll subtract eighteen for the hostess. You've probably seen her there. She is the one who's giving death glares to all who enter and just. looks. MISERABLE. We stopped in because we were meeting some friends we don't get to see very often. Wanted to have a nice lunch! We brought along some kids....well 4. Now that means we had to seat all these small humans and after waiting there for about 20 minutes, shoveling what small snacks we had stashed for them I ask about this perfect large table in the corner. They say they are waiting for 'our' table to sign checks and we'd be in. I'm told "that table is for 8 adults, but we'll sit you there if they take long". Apparently 4 adults, 4 kids, 2 baby carriers, bags, high chairs, and coats = less space than 8 adults. After another ten minutes of staring at the empty awesome table, we get to go around the corner to 'ours'. It's two, tiny round tables pushed together with high chairs haphazardly thrown around it. We get the joy of getting situated around that mess. Meanwhile there are plenty of groups of four waiting for a table! Why not give me the one I want, and then let two more parties in!?? Point being mrs. Miserable hostess girl really ruined the whole experience and what could have been a great visit. That's part of the reason people go out to eat. It's about the service. This place needs the kinks worked out in that regard.... Or maybe get the first person you see not to be the last person you want to....
