  • We had the oddest and most uninviting experience at Livermore the other night. I honestly wish I had read the recent reviews posted by the others because my experience was similarly disappointing. The 2 people in our party that arrived first had apparently been asked by the bar staff to move from the middle of the bar to the ends, so as to leave room at the bar to accommodate bigger groups. (The irony of this unfolds later). I was the 4th person to arrive, and as I was saying hello, putting my coat away, and essentially getting settled before sitting down at the bar, the staff urged us to take a table for 4 behind us. We declined, saying there were more people joining us. The staff pressed us to take the table again, explaining that they were no longer a cocktail bar, and that there was a strict 'no standing' policy at the bar. Sensing that this was not going to be a good venue for a big gathering, I made the call that we would finish our round of drinks and food here (since people had already ordered both), and then move on to another place. So we remained at the bar, but now, aware of and accommodating to the 'no standing' policy, we were seated, waiting for our orders, and mulling our next destination. Then, a fifth friend walked in. While we all stood up to say hello, the bar staff was clearly disturbed and again, asked if we would move to the tiny table for 4 (even though we were now 5 people). I immediately explained to the newcomer that they didn't want us standing around the bar, and I got up and told the group to move to the other side of the bar, where we could all SIT around the corner, and still talk to each other while we waited for our pending orders. Amazingly, the staff told us we couldn't sit there. To which we incredulously asked, so, you don't want us to stand, but you don't want us to sit? Again, they tried to move us to the 4 person cocktail table, and mumbled something about not wanting a large group to sit at the bar. This - after they had tried to move the first 2 people in our group to the end of the bar so as to be able to accommodate bigger groups at the bar? Truly bizarre! We clearly were unwanted, and this place wasn't worth another ounce of effort. We paid for everything we had ordered (some of which was yet to come out) and left.
