We had dinner last week and was so embarrassed by the down home feel of the owners. Let me explain, when someone dines out at Cafe Annie, it is usually to enjoy a quiet dinner with a loved one, a personal celebration, or some other significant occasion. The last thing one would expect would be for the owner to sit down next to you and carry on a LOUD conversation with whomever. How do I know she was the owner? Everyone was calling her Mimi and she was making it a point that everyone knew who she was. I understand that owners & managers need to talk with their guests from time to time, but please don't sit down on a chair next to someone unless you are invited, one should stand at the table for a brief time. We are here to dine and spend money in your establishment, not to hear how bad sales are or what other companies are having a rough time, or how your family is doing. Let us enjoy our time. Even with this we did manage to enjoy the food. We are eagerly waiting the opening of their new restaurant, it is time for a change for this restaurant.
