"Update: I normally do not reply to responses, but I want to make it clear that my group did not stop in for free entertainment. We didn’t notice the $30 minimum sign until after we had ordered, but we did in fact purchase food items. And I am certain that the couple that we were with did meet the required threshold. We understand that business is business, but in all actuality, this situation was handled very poorly. I’ve never been asked to get up and sit outside of an establishment in which I was a paying patron until tonight. This was my second time visiting with my husband and another couple. We enjoyed ourselves so much the first time that we decided to come back for another lively night of live music, but the experience we had tonight made us all feel very uncomfortable. We understand that this is a very high demand spot and reservations are recommended, but our original plans fell through so we decided to give cafe centro a try. The Hostess right away let us know that all of the tables were reserved but let us know that the bar was free and was first come first served. We aren’t big drinkers so we originally did not want to be seated at the bar, but we figured a seat at the bar was better than not being able to sit at all. Before sitting at the bar, we asked her to put us down in case a table became available. From my understanding, once we were seated, we were free to enjoy the entertainment for as long as we desired, but a couple of hours into the live show, the same hostess came and let us know that a table never became available but asked that we give up our seats at the bar and go outside to continue observing the show in order to make room for other patrons. This would normally have not been an issue, but the first time we visited, we observed the patrons at the bar enjoying themselves the entire evening, never being asked to leave. So we were caught off guard by her request and found it somewhat inappropriate. We eventually left, but it left a poor taste and we don’t plan to return."
