"I had a 12pm reservation for 14. When I arrived, there were at least 10 of my group waiting. The host said to give him a few minutes. At 12:10, I asked what was taking so long, he said give him 5 minutes, that they’re getting the table ready. About 5 minutes later, I asked if they were waiting for another group to get up from a large table so they could seat us. He said yes. That wasn’t right. We should not have had to wait for another party to leave (or be pushed out) so that we could be seated. A table should have been ready for us. While i don’t know how long that party had been there, I would not want to be asked to leave, and I’m sure the other party wasn’t. We were seated when they left and the tables were cleaned and set. While I know this is not a big restaurant, we were crowded. Several tables had been pushed together against the solid seat back, with 6 on one side, 7 on the other side, and 1 on the end of the solid seating. There was only 1 way to get in or out. People against the solid wall had to ask several people to get up if they needed to use the restroom, and the people at the next table were not happy if anyone did that. While I love this restaurant, I don’t know that I will ever be able to bring another large group here to introduce them to the wonderful food."
