Treat Women Badly
Saturday, December 13, 2008
I had a reservation for about a month at Felidia, I was taking my editor to celebrate my new book deal. When we arrived, even though the restaurant had 5 empty tables, We were told we could sit by the kitchen door or next to the chafing dish where they deboned the fish. When I asked the maitre d about the other tables, the very curt reply was that they were all reserved. We finally sat next the work station. The waiter was unfriendly and the table was extremely uncomfortable for three people. Even though this restaurant is owned by a women, all the women who entered without a male companion were given lousy tables and the couples or men alone were given the nice spots. The food was quite good but not worth the attitude of everyone who served us. I have been to many restaurants in NY and quite like trying different chefs, but I have never been treated as badly. I will not go back.
