We came to eat and there was a 25 minute wait for a 5 top. The place was half empty but only had tables for two available. We returned 25 minutes later and there was no change so they pushed two tables together for us. Then the hostess realized only 4/5 of our party was there. She then said we'd have to wait for the fifth party to join before seating us. He was two blocks away having drinks with a friend. When they told us there'd be a 25 minute wait we told him to take his time. She did not tell us when we first got there that the whole party would need to be present to be seated.
