"I would not recommend going to this place probably ever. 4/12/24 We came in asking for a party of 6 as 2 of the 6 people. We were told we’d have to wait for our whole party which was fine that’s what we were doing. And then we were seated anyway by the older women hostess with just the two of us and we informed her that the rest of the party was coming in a few short minutes. She came back to the table one minute later and started ripping away part of the table as one other person of our party walked in, insisting she would get in trouble because she sat us. I informed her that we didn’t have to be seated but we were and we were all going to be here soon. We discussed amongst ourselves as we left regaling to story and she came back over to us, shoved me out of the way insisting she wasn’t yelling at us and ripped away our silverware and left. She then came back to our table insisting we were disrespectful and we had to get up and leave because we had sat down, when she seated us. Then the rest of our party comes in as she rips away our menus and silverware and insists we can’t sit there. We ended up having a waitress come over and ensuring we could stay. We ordered and finished and mentioned the mishap to another employee as a tale of customer disrespect. She then went up to us and started to berate my mother saying I was disrespectful and the like. My mother encouraged that she was in fact the disrespectful one and reminded her that customer service was priority. She then physically shoved us to the front of the store and screamed that we could never come back and she didn’t want to ever see us again and then cursed us out the door. In my recommendation the place would be stellar without this specific older hostess as the waitress was phenomenal and the service was fast"
