Well that was a bummer. We came here a few days ago and had a delicious turmeric bread sandwich. We were told to sit at a dirty table and just assumed it was because the server was busy. She eventually cleared the table. When our food came, it was left at the cash register why other patrons breathed on it. We assumed it was cultural since the server, after finishing some smoothies, put silverware on the plates, then brought them over. We really enjoyed the sandwiches.
Today we decided to try again and get there early. We walked in after a party of 3. They sat at a 6 top and we sat at a neighboring 4 top. I alerted the same server from a few days ago that we were seated in the back. She came a few minutes later and said the 4 top was reserved. My partner asked if you can reserve online. She said yes but only for special parties like 6 or more. So of course we looked at her like she was crazy because the party of 3 was seated at the table for 6. Then she quickly said 'or for babies' meaning a child's seat at the table. Mind you that as soon as she approached us, the restaurant went silent. It was completely awkward. She said we can wait for a table or joint the party of 3.
This review is for people of color, Americans, or those who hate discriminatory behavior. There is no reason why we should've left if a party of 5 (4 plus a baby) were coming 22 minutes later when the party of 3 sat at the larger table at the same time as us.
I really wanted to love this place, but we just don't feel welcome. If this somehow cultural and I'm completely off base, please let me know, but I have to post based on my experience. :-( read more
