We frequent this restaurant at least a couple times a month and have for years. After tonight, I may never go back. It is Sunday night and we walked in, a party of 5 behind another couple. At best, the restaurant is one-third full. The first sign of trouble was that it took a while for the couple ahead of us to be seated. Finally when we approached the hostess, she had to run back to the rear seating area to "check". (This despite the fact that she had just been back there). She returned and told us it would be a 5-10 minute wait. I pointed to the empty 10 tables to my left and asked why. She explained they only had a couple of waitresses working and they needed to catch up. What???? I went to the rear seating area and there were 4 empty tables. I asked if we could be seated and was told no. At that point we walked out. Terrible way to treat loyal customers. Seating us with an explanation would have been better than making us stand there.
