| - My wife and I decided we'd have dinner at one of the restaurants on Carson after an event. We were invited as Founding Members of the Southern Nevada RTC Bike Share program to their 1 Year Anniversary event at Container Park last Friday. We listened to music, saw some friends and neighbors, and had a good time at the party. Then, we decided to have dinner at either 7th&Carson or Carson Street Kitchen. We'd been to Carson Street before and enjoyed it greatly. Tonight, Carson Street appeared to be busy so we decided to try something new to us, 7th&Carson. After all, the place appeared to have plenty of availability. And, we'd heard really good things about the food from a Yelper friend of ours who is a regular there. We walked in through the front door. We were semi-regulars at Glutton (the restaurant in the space before it). We'd celebrated our anniversary there with fabulous meals and drinks. We knew the space. Except, this time at 7th&Carson, NOBODY greeted us at all. In fact, we walked in and looked around the restaurant which seemed empty. We walked to the back of the restaurant where a woman was standing. She asked us if we had a reservation. We told her we didn't and there were only two of us. Without a beat, she tells us she has no tables available and they were "very busy tonight." She offered us a table in the patio (freezing cold that night) or at the counter. My wife and I were dumbfounded by this. The hostess stood there staring at us blankly (the plague of zombie hostesses in this town, I swear. PLEASE HIRE PEOPLE WITH A WELCOMING PERSONALITY). We weren't sure if this was a practical joke or if she expected a "honey handshake" (not happening, honey!) or if she was simply clueless as to the actual reality of what we could visibly see with our very own eyes. We told her, "no, thanks!" and left out the back entrance (which is apparently now the pretentious unmarked front entrance even though the door has a sign that says EXIT clearly marked on it). Absurd. Once we left, we talked about how we'd expect this kind of thing from busy, popular restaurants in Los Angeles or NYC. We know what busy restaurants look like with crowds and lines wrapped around the block, people chain-smoking, or having drinks before a table opens up, That was NOT the case here. As we walked to have dinner elsewhere, my wife opened up the Open Table app to see there were 6 open tables available in just 9 minutes at 6:30 P.M. So, either the hostess has no grasp on her tables if she didn't know she had 6 tables available in less than 10 minutes or has been trained to project a non-existent air of exclusivity at a place that doesn't warrant it. In any case, the food and drinks MAY be good but we won't know as we were refused a table for no apparent reason. :(
