Noah's Barn

This is definitely not a non-smoker friendly establishment, and so I'd say it's not kids friendly, not baby friendly, not pregnant women friendly, and so on. As I was arriving, the waiter asked if I wanted a table in a non-smoking or smoking area, and I confidently said "NON-SMOKING" because I couldn't care less about instagram worthy pix if it meant I have to be a secondhand smoker. So, the waiter immediately pointed out at the table closest to the entrance door & clearly there are only 5 tables set closest to the entrance door or the reception area. As I was sitting down & looking through the menu, I could smell heavy smoke coming from somewhere, and so I shared my concern to one of the waiters & he just said "Oh, I don't know". In the height of my aggravation, I made it clear to him that the door separating non-smoking area and smoking area should always be closed, to which he said, "Okay". But throughout my 1,5 hours stay, I would say there was no difference between the 2 areas, they may as well make the whole place a smoking area. Actually, the only place that is free of smoke & smells nice is the toilet. Given the choice, I'd rather whatever I ordered in the toilet. I could see the waiters were whispering, probably about how demanding I may have seemed (I could obviously sense it because they were standing in front of me as my table was right in front of the point where they take food & drink from the chef, they ocassionally made a stare). People would think I'm blowing this matter out of proportion, but I take my culinary experience seriously. If I'd known that I'm going to have my meal in a place where there is no rule regarding smoking / no smoking, I would not make a big deal about it as I have made a choice to be in that kind of place, but this place claims to be family friendly, kids friendly, cozy, etc. and none is associated with having to inhale smoke from ciggies while eating. Anyway, to be fair, the fries was great, but I could get similar kinda fries from a fastfood place.
