I recently attempted to book dinner at Theia. We had a large group of nine people and we wanted to dine there on the long weekend, so we knew we had to book as far in advance as possible. We reached out six weeks ahead of time, and Myles confirmed they had space available. In our email, we also mentioned that members of our group had dietary restrictions, which he said he could accommodate. He even offered to send us our prix-fixe menu ahead of time. There was no indication that any further information was needed from our end.
For the next month, we followed up with Myles repeatedly, asking for updates on our menu. If he replied at all, he provided no further information. Finally, he agreed to a call to discuss the menu, where he primarily expressed concern about our dietary restrictions and balked at the fact that we were a bachelorette group. Nonetheless, he promised to send a menu the next day once he received further confirmation of the dietary restrictions in our group.
Two days later (and two days before our reservation), having still not received a menu, we again followed up. Myles emailed us back to say that the only space available for a group of our size was on the patio and asked if we “wanted him to reserve it.” We were disappointed because the ambiance of the restaurant interior was a big part of our choice to book there. We were also very confused because, as far as we knew, we had already reserved a table more than a month prior! On top of that, it was supposed to be rainy and cold on the day of our (non) reservation—not great patio weather.
We ended up finding another restaurant in the area that had space for us. We never received any apology from Myles or anyone else from Theia, nor any acknowledgement that there was clearly an error on their end.
We tried at every juncture to be as respectful as possible, but I have never received such poor customer service from a restaurant in my life. I’m sure the food at Theia is delicious, but unfortunately, I didn’t get a...
