Restaurant Seating (somewhat OT)

Mike P · 2005-01-30T06:39:17+00:00

Just came back from dinner a place that we haven't been before. Called forearly reservations (5:30PM) and were told that there was no problem -- infact, the place had lots of availability until 8:00PM. And when we arrivedthere where 8 people in a room that could hold maybe 120? The person doingthe seating grabbed 2 menus and escorted us to the absolute worst table inthe room. Sort of in the walkway between the entry and the bar. Now, on theother side of the room, there were 11 empty 2 person tables around thewindow area. So after a mild fit, we get one of the window tables. Now we'rehere for 2 hrs and the 2 person tables get one more couple.So, does this only happen to me? I can't begin to count the number of timesthat I been offered the worst table in a restaurant even though there wereplenty of others available.Mike P

I was expecting a sting, where you were forced to hire the jackets at great expense.

I was given a tie to wear in Cirque 2000, New York, back in 1999. It was pretty horrendous, too, but at least I couldn't see much of it.
