Poor Hostess Etiquette - will never return
Monday, June 13, 2005
We had reservations for a table outside at 8:30pm, but were asked us to wait a few minutes, which is standard for New York restaurants. At 9:15pm, I inquired on the status on our table. Without a smile or an apology the hostess says we must wait another 30 -40 minutes for a table outside, and that she couldn't honor outdoor reservations anyway. Of course I declined to wait longer and left. Good god, what's the point of letting people book tables if you cannot honor?! And to top it off, what's with the attitude?! The fact that the hostess had such poor form in addition to the wait makes me cross this restaurant off my list forever.
Apparently the same hostess was also trying to kick out a group of women having drinks at a table and giving them a hard time for holding up a table.
