Our party of 6 celebrating a birthday party walked in and placed our name on a waiting list for a table.
We watched as several groups were seated ahead of us, even though they walked in afterwards and did not have reservations.
After a 30-40 minute wait and a stop by the hostess to confirm we weren't missed, we were shown to a table.
As we seated, the hostess delivered a message from the Manager..."we have another larger party coming in at 8 (1.5hrs), so you'll need to need to be done or moved by then".
Couldn't someone have mentioned that when we walked in?
Yes
