"The experience was good but we had a rough start when we arrived at the restaurant. We were reserved a table that was close to the entrance door that is so tight and is not the most cozy area in this small place. Given the fact that we reserved a day ahead and when we asked for a better table, we were told that there were lots of ppl that reserved and it would be an hour of wait to get a better table. Seeing that we were not pleased by their choice of table and additional wait time, the guy at the bar offered to sit us in the bar and wait until a table is available. We were then given a booth after one couple left. While we were dining, we noticed after an hour, there were plenty of available booths for guests and thought to ourselves, where are those guests that this guy told us are coming? Obviously, they pick a guest that they can put in their not the most attractive table (and see if they would take it) so it 's easier for them to sit other potential guests quicker with the nicer tables/booths. It 's like selling goods that are close to expiring first and sell the rest later. But by doing this, they are discriminating guests. Is it because of our ethnicities or the way we look? What also draw us to this restaurant is their long list of wines/beers from their website but when we were ordering our choice of beer, they said that they don 't have it and the guy even challenged us to show him that it is in their website and he apologized when we showed it to him. He said that their website is not updated yet. So it is false marketing. Imagine if we had gone all the way to Ottawa from a 2-hour drive somewhere just to taste that beer that is no way near their bar. But because we had a lovely time the rest of the evening, we will still come back with hopes that we won 't be treated the same way this first time we were there."
