Blatantly rude and unprofessional. I asked for a table to drink only, for myself and possibly my family who would join me. The waitress directed me to a table for four.

And on that note, there is often incredible, diverse live music happening that makes you want to stop and stay for a while or get up from your table and dance. Love it here- a favorite hangout,...
