"a large small coast to the coast of Italian chain, here at this Grand-Aforesaid tho they like to sit all in the same 3 tables, when the entire restaurant is empty and pack in people over each other, instead of space and afforidng a comfortable eating and talk. they sat us next to a couple and the back of the restaurant where there was no reason to put people on each other, but they chose that even when I told the hostess that there is no reason that we all need to be so cramped to pack people in the same room when the whole restaurant was empty. we sat next to a couple that went shortly after and then the staff on place 2 more tables right around us in the same way as we visited our hostes from the city dwellers, we had a lot to discuss and went on, and the next 2 couples sat quietly and heard our defiant. Restaurants are meant to offer a meeting point. mgmt should not be so weak to miss this point and recognize it."
