I’d like to speak to the manager!!!

This is one of my favorite things that happens at my restaurant.

We take reservations for our bar.

For good or bad, we do it. 

People hate when they find out, until they try and it and realize that if you plan a head most times you get right in for your reservation.

The thing I love is that someone makes a reservation at the bar for 8:00. 

Then they show up at 7:30 and tell us they came early to get a drink at the bar before they are seated. 

But there reservation is at the bar.  How do they think they’ll get a drink if their seats aren’t going to be ready for 30 minutes. 

This happened twice tonight.  And the first time we sent them to the patio.  The second time we were able to get them seated early.

When this doesn’t happen though, they get annoyed like we did something wrong.
