Dearest Sharon and Husband.....we hate writing posts like this, but unfortunately we feel we have to defend ourselves from frivolous 1 star google reviews, the first and only Google review you've ever written, and shed a more common sense explaination to what often times seems like an unknown subject. We are a 41 seat restaurant. Thats super small. And on weekdays we only run 1 server to 9 tables, way more than most restaurants will let their servers run. So the 4 tables on the far side of the dining room that say reserved, the ones with electrical equipment and a giant Oven on, are reserved for when we have a second server to wait on them and when we are regularly busy enough to fill those tables as well as staff the kitchen accordingly. That means primarily Saturdays, Sundays and Holidays. And while you have had great experiences here in the past, you would allow something like waiting 5 or 10 minutes to wait for a table to clear to ruin further experiences for you. We understand, some people just will not wait, or they will call ahead , especially when bringing guests in. Though.... Not many argue with their server to put 3 people at a 2 top, or to open a section just for you because you see empty tables and demand it. This sort of entitlement has no place in modern establishments. Your server wasn't being rude, she was just telling you what her bosses have told her in regards to how to manage the seats in the dining room based on staffing and sales projections. Unfortunately some Adults have childlike melt downs when told no. And as she had tables she was waiting on, really doesn't owe you the time to explain every nuance behind the fact that she could not sit you and you would have to wait for a table that could accommodate your party. Let alone to explain it to you 3 different times. You are not the only person we have to say no to. We routinely will have parties of 20 walk in wanting a table, they dont argue with the server when they are told we can't accommodate them. They walk away understanding things like time, distance, space, common sense and public etiquette are at play and in the future will call us for a reservation for a larger table. In the future, try calling. Or use just a little bit of that patience you have tucked in a back pocket somewhere.... or, at the very least....be adult enough not to run tail tucked to google and post a 1 star review for a meal you didnt have because we were too busy to seat you at an undersized table and you dont have the depth or aptitude to understand or comprehend 2 very simple words... the fistt being wait, the other being No. We are sorry you won't be returning. We wish this could have been handled more maturely. But, we play the cards were given and here we are.
