The hostess is quite often someone too young and/or inexperienced to wait tables. Not sure why assuming something that’s true most of the time is so interesting.

I find it interesting because assumptions aren’t always true but if we say something enough it becomes true.

If you don’t find it interesting it’s fine by me.

I called that morning when they opened to let them know I was coming in with a party of 8 between 730-815 and asked if that would be a problem being they don't take reservations. She said they won't take reservations even for larger parties but to come on up and they'll get us in though wait could be up to an hour.


So you knew they didn't take reservations but called earlier in the day to "let them know" you were coming in with a group that night? What purpose did you think this was going to serve? Are you implying they had some duty to recognize your call or make arrangements given your advance notice...like a reservation...which they don't take

That is kind of funny. Calling a place that doesnt take reservations to let them know that youre coming with a party of 8 at 8pm on a weekend night.

I told her what I thought about the way she was doing her job and how her inability to do her job cost 8 people an hour on a Saturday night. Head chef happened to be walking by and asked what was going on. He half-heartedly agreed with me, apologized for being out of food, and walked away saying he hopes we come back.


You had me up until here. So you walked up to the hostess, acted like a dick, then the head chef conveniently walked up at that moment and validated the whole experience? Was he also the manager?




Just checking as I have worked in the service industry and still have several friends that do.

Head chefs don't randomly just leave the kitchen. More likely he was made aware that someone was being an arse to an employee and he stepped in.

Good job making that 16 girl feel like shite. Do you think the other 80 people that probably ate in that hour as you and your family were eating ate some of those items?

I wonder if we'll get the joy of reading thread part 2 where 8 people couldn't get the sushi they wanted at 9:00 on a saturday.

I’ve literally
Never had a hostess tell me anything is out when I out My name in.

There is also a strong likelihood they ran out of those thing during your hour wait.

Her job is to get you to a table not keep you updated on the larders.
