Rarely have I had the opportunity to experience such a complete breakdown of a restaurants operations without even getting in the door.
The hostess staff was dealing unsuccessfully, with a large party, having lost control over the seating on this party. Several smaller parties were seated before we were (a party of 2).
When confronted with this fact the hostess staff seamed at even a greater loss than they were before. A manager came by... We pointed out that that had already NOT HAPPENED he asked us not to make such a fuss.
I told him that when he learned to run a restaurant we might think about coming back. We then left, never to be seated or eating.
I would also wish to point out that at no point did anyone offer any apology or regret. None.
Cons: Rude, un-professional
