My wife and a friend were initially waiting for me to join them for dining at Valentino's. As I was delayed, they asked to be seated and they would order while waiting for me. Valentino's management proceeded to whine about not having the full party and hesitated about seating them. I could understand if they wanted to wait at the table and delay ordering as this would take up seating for those that were waiting and ready to order. However, my wife and friend were ready to order immediately and eat while waiting for me to join them.
