The reputation of rudeness for this place appears to be well deserved. We decided to try it around 9pm on a Saturday because nearby restaurants were packed. The host then informed us that he couldn't seat us. No explanation given, just a condescending attitude. We had come from a business function, were dressed accordingly and keeping to ourselves. There was a couple that were of middle-eastern lineage in our party... their presence seemed to upset this no doubt educated man blessed/burdened with the gift of cultural superiority.
