Showed up at 8:10 pm on a Saturday night. There were three larger parties (about 8 people each) seated; otherwise the place was mostly empty. Two waitresses ignored us, one cleaning a table that was obviously not needed.
After waiting for about five minutes, I asked one of the waitresses about being seated. She said she would get a hostess.
The hostess comes out and explained that we wouldn't be seated for about 30 minutes because of the large party that just arrived. Because the restaurant was about 70% empty and they wouldn't seat us, we left.
I realize that this restaurant was featured on the Food Network so I'm assuming the food is great; however, if a hostess doesn't seat guests in a nearly-empty restaurant, I also assume they don't want to serve us.
