A Hamptons houseguest gave us a $250 gift certificate to use here last August. We've tried to use it 5 times since then and haven't been able to get a reservation at a reasonable time. And when you explain that you have a gift certificate, they get downright rude. I've told them I'll book 2 months ahead in order to get a reasonable reservation, but they won't accommodate or give me the money. Our houseguest is mortified. And I'm confused: if I can get a reservation at Per Se and they treat me graciously, who the he'll do these people think they are? Rude, rude, rude, and for no cause.
