This wasn’t my second visit to this location, but it was the second time I’ve had a seating issue with the same older hostess at the door. My party of four was told there would be a 10–15 minute wait, which we were fine with. However, after nearly 30 minutes, we watched multiple groups who arrived before and after us get seated —including a couple that was given a booth for four.We also noticed a younger host preparing a booth for 4 with menus and utensils but no guests. When I asked if that table was for us (since we were the only ones still waiting), the hostess asked the older hostess and said it was for a party that belongs to a large party located on their end of the restaurant that hadn’t arrived yet, and they have only two waiting tables, even though most restaurants don’t seat incomplete parties. A few seconds later, she finally seated us, but it was done with clear frustration and dismissive body language, which made the experience uncomfortable. This included taking the placed menus at the booth with no guest and brought us to a booth for 6. The time we were there eating, we saw no guest that belong to that large party.To be fair, our waitress was fantastic- friendly, efficient, and attentive. The problem isn’t with the servers; it’s the repeated lack of organization and courtesy at the front door. First impressions matter, and this hostess consistently fails to create a welcoming one. Because of that, I’m hesitant to return to this location.
