"About 20 minutes later, while we were enjoying our dinner, the bouncer approached me and insisted that I had to leave the restaurant to drink my coffee. I was nearly finished with it, but he wouldn't let me take the last couple of sips. Instead, he hovered over me and compelled me to walk all the way down the path to the sidewalk outside the restaurant. It only took me about a minute to finish, after which I returned to my friends to continue our meal.
The whole situation was embarrassing, especially since the patio was packed with customers. It felt as though I had committed a serious offense. I can understand stricter rules if I had been alone without ordering food, but we were a group of five, dining and drinking, yet the restaurant didn’t offer any hot beverages, coffee, or non-alcoholic options other than soda and water. I definitely won’t be returning. You would expect that a place with relatively high prices for food and drinks would provide better service and treat their customers more respectfully."
