| - Atrocious service! Avoid this place!
We arrived at 6:02 for our 6:00 reservation, and were promptly told by the host (the owner, I surmise) that our reservation was cancelled and our table was given away because we were late. This was a bizarre claim because it didn't appear that any table had recently been seated. I then wondered if he had double booked, and was giving us the short shrift to cover their booking mistake, as I noticed that there was one vacant table remaining. I pointed to the empty table and said that we'll gladly take it. He curtly replied that it was already reserved. When I asked if the reservation for that table was also for 6:00, he said yes, and that the party would also lose their table for being late. He then condescendingly lectured us that it's best if we show up on time, and that being just 1 minute late would justify cancelling the reservation.
As though eager to get rid of us, he then impatiently motioned us toward the door and told us we'd have to wait outside for a table to become available. Disappointed, we made our way outside to wait for a table. At 6:08, the other late party arrived and was promptly seated (without being lectured). So much for being on time! We gave up and went elsewhere.
I thought maybe this was a one-off experience, but after reading some of the other reviews noting the questionable reservation policy and rude service, I think it is par for the course at this restaurant. At any rate, I'll gladly spend my money elsewhere, and I would urge anyone who values courteous service for their hard-earned money to do the same!
