I showed up on a busy Sunday after reading the sign out front of the diner stating: Voted Best Diner by the NY Daily News. So I figured it must be good. The minute I walked up, I felt a tense energy but I walked in with a positive attitude. My friend and I signed in for a party of 4- while we were waiting on our other 2 guests to find parking because there was not enough in their parking area or on 31st. We were called 25 minutes later by an old guy playing host. When we explained our missing party members were outside, he rudely said: ""I don't have time for this"". Strike one. Then I told him I was going to call them on their mobile to come inside and he told us we would have to be put on the list and wait all over again. Strike two. Then I asked if we could be seated with just 3 members at a table for 4 while the other 1 shows up and he said: ""don't waste my time"". I was done. This all happened within 2 minutes. Instead of arguing back or even trying to defend myself I said: ""I will take my business elsewhere"". He said: ""Good""! No one should be treated like that- ever. Now, I am here posting a negative review which will affect their business and I will go elsewhere. One should always be gracious & kind to everyone because you never know who you are going to run into.
