"The owner refused to let us be seated! We arrived at the restaurant around 2:15 PM on January 13th. Every table was empty except for one, which had four diners at the back. We were informed that a reservation was required. We mentioned that we had dined there just three weeks prior without any issues. Despite there being plenty of seating available and his acknowledgment that no large parties were expected, he insisted that we needed a reservation. I even asked if we could step outside to call and make a reservation, but he didn't respond. When we expressed that he would never see us again and that we would share our experience online, he simply replied, "I don't care." I hope his behavior isn't driven by prejudice, as I worry he might have denied my wife seating because we are not Asian."
