UGHHHHH!! We had such an odd experience here!
We headed there on a Saturday evening around 10pm, excited to have an after dinner cocktail.
As soon as we walked in the door, a man with glasses jumped in front of us asking us barely audible questions about our dinner desired and honestly made us feel uncomfortable as we barely had time to survey the surrounds. He was eager, but disorienting with the instant ambush technique and not the most helpful.
He scurried off when we mentioned we were only interested in drinks. The bar was packed and we spotted an open high top table (one of at least four open tables) and asked a waitress if we could sit there instead. She didn't seem very sure if we could and told us to ask the hostess. The hostess is set in an odd location to the left and not easily noticed when you enter. Hostess told us we couldn't sit there because it was reserved for potential dinner patrons. Normally, I wouldn't begrudge a policy of that sort except it was after 10pm and it's hard to fathom folks strolling in for dinner at that hour. It's hard to explain but we just felt so uncomfortable we just turned around and left. It was as if there was a private party... But there wasn't. Maybe they just aren't coordinated yet. But there were a lot of people talking about where we couldn't sit and no one telling us where we could sit. I felt bad walking out, but we did and promptly went to acacia where we were welcomed with open cocktail arms.
