Good Luck with the "sophisticated" waiting list
Saturday, July 29, 2006
Well, I can't say anything about the food because I never even got to try it. My husband and I went there for the first time today and were never able to get a table. We went inside to find out if we could sit at one of the two empty outside tables but were told to write our name down on the "waiting list" (i.e. piece of paper attached to a clipboard) outside. There was one other party on the list in front of us. More people came and wrote down their names after us and after waiting about 10 minutes, two men walked up to the restaurant, didn't write their names on the waiting list , walked up to the waiter, asked if they could sit at an outside table, and were told "If it's open, you can sit there." Quite the opposite of what we were told. We informed the waiter that we were there first, but he said that they were on the list ahead of us. According to him, we should have been next in line. Not so! Two ladies who came a full 5 minutes after us then asked the waiter if they could sit at the other open table and were told yes. We again pointed out that we were there first and were told again that we were after them on the list. How this is possible that we were behind two parties when there was only one written on the list is beyond me. Needless to say, we left without trying the food and will never go back again. There are plenty of other great cafes in Los Feliz where you don't have to deal with waiters who don't know what's going on.
