Last Friday, we arrived at Inspire Restaurant at 2:35 pm and was greeted with a silent stare. The hostess behind the bar looked at her watch, then up at me and said nothing. I asked if we could be seated and her response was a very rude "we close at 3 and last call for seating was 2:30".
She continued to look at me without saying another word and I was flabbergasted that this kind of terrible service would be considered acceptable in this day and age where service is just as important as the meal experience itself.
Had the hostess been a little more friendlier in telling me I was just five minutes shy of last call or to come back and visit another time, we would consider going back as we were excited to try out the restaurant.
Sadly, I think my family and I would prefer to drive mid or downtown for similar style restaurants where we are normally made to feel welcome.
