"The food was good and the table service was great. My problem was with the hostess. I booked a table for 3 on Open Table. I arrived 5 minutes early, checked in, asked if an outside table was available, was told yes, that it was being cleaned. I stood for 15 minutes, the other 2 people in my party arrived, and I went back to the hostess and said, We 're ready to be seated now . She looked at me like she 'd never seen me before; I had to remind her of my name and reservation. She said, There 's someone leaving now, we 'll get the table clean . She then led us to an indoor table. I asked what happened to our outside table, to which she responded, Your entire party wasn 't here, we couldn 't hold the table, we had to seat someone else . I informed her that she never told me about a policy that I couldn 't be seated until my entire party arrived. I feel that she could have handled it better, informing me of the policy, and maybe saying We can still seat you outside but the wait may be a bit longer since your entire party isn 't here yet . There were 2 tables next to the hostess stand that sat 6 people; I heard her tell another guest that they reserved those tables for parties of 4 or more. I watched her seat a group of 3 young girls at one of the tables. It makes me think they are thinking of optics and pick and choose who they seat outside to make for a better visual ."
