• group night out, party of 11

  I came with a group of 10-12 people. The waiter only said they only had seats for everyone but me and one friend who come from a minority background .. I was shocked but still decided to stay since there were so many of us .. then the rest of the group decided to leave and me and the same one friend wanted to have one more drink before heading out. We decided to kindly give it another chance and sit at the bar. The waiter tells us the last two bar seats are served and said we cannot be here. I was shocked because he looks like he also comes from a minority background so was very confused . and the other woman with the curly hair was also rude… never going back again.. this happened about an hour ago. Never been treated that way going to any restaurant and bar ..

• friends group dinner, party of 6

  Getting a group of 6 together in this city is a nightmare but they made it so easy. Separate checks were no problem, they didn't rush us at all and we could actually hear each other talk. This is the spot for group hangs period.

• group hangout, party of 6
