My friend and I went here for late night tacos and drinks. We indicated to the hostess , whose presence seemed unnecessary given the late hour, that we would go to the bar and sat down at a table in the bar area. She followed us over there to sass us condescendingly and inform us "excuse you. I am the hostess and I am in charge of seating the tables, I'm sorry if that's confusing for you to understand."
I COULD understand if the place was busy and we had bumped others waiting for a table but they weren't busy at all. It's pretty normal for tables in a bar area to be open to seat yourself. And it could have been handled in a way that didn't leave us feeling like we had pissed on a rug by some hostess on a power trip. Her one job is to be cordial and friendly. We were so off put by her attitude that we left. Won't be going back.
