Arrived at 6:50pm tonight. Was told couldn't have a table without a reservation until 8:15 pm. Sat in bar. The entire restaurant is almost completely empty. Open Table says tables open at 7:45 pm. Very odd.
At almost 8:15 we've been served our food and eaten. The entire time we have seen a table for 2, a table for 4, and multiple booths sit empty the entire time. Clearly the hostess staff is playing games.
Our waitress in the bar was very good and could have served us at the tables that sat empty just a couple feet away.
Others in the bar area are making the same observations.
One group at the bar just went and asked the hostess about a table again and amazingly they are now going to be seated finally in the dining room.
Very disappointing for a restaurant we have frequented many times each year and never had this treatment.
