After calling ahead to alert the staff we would be a party of 14 we arrived to wait in line like all patrons. Our group was split all across the restaurant among 4 tables all seated at different times. We requested to wait for a large table so more of us could sit together. The server argued with us and immediately went to get the owner. The owner came greeting us with ""Why am I out here, I should be in the kitchen cooking"", we said we don't know why he was out there we just wanted to know if we could wait for a larger table. We were then informed that there was another restaurant across the street that perhaps we should go to because this restaurant doesn't have time for this.
I do not understand how asking to WAIT for a larger table led to being told to go to another establishment across the street.
Clearly this owner, in these difficult economic times has no regard for customer service or courtesy.
This restaurant in the past has always had waiting lines wrapped outside the door on weekends. At 10 am this saturday morning there were 6 individuals waiting in line before us. Clearly a considerable drop in clientele.
Perhaps the owners rudeness has turned off other potential diners as well. How long will this cafe remain open? Hopefully not long.
Pros: Location
Cons: Rude Staff
