Michael Nichols the general manager of this establishment is not much a manager he's more like of an apologetic person because our dinner last night sucked on angles. I do now realize that "Buca di Beppo" caters to "larger parties" but that's technically discrimination towards smaller parties I do understand it's a holiday but just like the so called manager did explain that the upstairs dining area could accommodate smaller parties his hostess staff choose to stick us in a side room where we had to enjoy our night. Wasn't much of an enjoyment people speak so highly about the interior and it's entertaining I didn't see anything entertaining about where we dined, oh that's right because we got stuck in a small dining area because the hostess was so overwhelmed we had to catch the grief. When we asked to see the manager just to explain and voice our opinions he felt that nothing was wrong that we're just complying over being sat in the bar area. Being apologetic is great I get it you don't know how to be a manager as much as your hostesses don't know how to control the from waiting lobby but all we wanted was the same experience everyone else got as my mother had never been there before she wanted to explore this so called cool restaurant but if the hostess & manager act like they only "cater to larger parties" I think I'll refrain from returning as this manager thinks he's staff did the best for us they could possibly do
