| - Drake Hotel... I like the Cafe, it is really nice I often have a soy smoothie and fruit bowl. Good place for a casual, easy, meeting and nobody is getting there Hipster Snipe or heavy sigh on regarding whatever it is you are up to...
But at night, I think it was Thursday... We went into the main area, and were greeted by this curly haired glasses dude in a purple jacket who looked at me like I was trash. He clearly likes the fragrance of his own toots. I politely told him we would like to eat and that there were four of us, (There were these awesome big black kind of industrial tables in the middle, I asked for one of those) the response... I can't put you at a table but you can sit on the big bench on the side to eat, there are small tables there... The guy puts us in a back corner where it was super Dark, I could barely see the people across from me. Weird. So when he lead us into the corner I asked why we couldn't eat at the centre tables, he said they were being moved for dancing...
So we sit at the side table area, order our drinks (the blond female server was very polite and efficient)
So were sitting there getting our jackets off and the curly haired glasses guy seats 4 people at the exact table we wanted... and they ate too... about 5-8 minutes later...
We asked for our bill right away, paid and left. Did not even order food, we were offended!!! My feelings were hurt, this was the first time I ever felt really disrespected by anyone in a Customer Centric Role. I also just moved to the area, and was feeling really regretful regarding that just then.
I will never go back into the main area ever again. I was mortified.
Gladstone Cafe is where I meet with my supply rep for my company, and we have always had great service there. My Buddy Aleks recommends Whoopi Pies. I recommend the smoothies!
