Sequoia Brewing — Restaurant in Fresno

My family and close friends, have been visiting this location for over 10 years, in all that time, I had yet to meet the owner Michelle. My sister had reserved the room for her Annual Anniversary lunch. When I approached the desk I was not greeted nicely and I said I was here for the Reservation under my sisters name, but before I could say that I was not her and that I was here to see if they could put the surprise cake in freezer so I could run into the room to decorate. She started telling me about Cake fee for cutting the cake and that the cake was not noted on reservation and was angry at who ever I spoke to because they didn't tell me the price and I was fine paying the fee. No problem...... I was just taken back by her tone directed at me. and then she took the cake from my hands and set it down at the desk where everyone walks up to when checking in, and walked away from me. I quickly asked another server to see if he could move the cake from the area as my sister was walking up to the restaurant. I then quickly went to the room and... to see if I could start over with this person I thought was a server and I said, I'm sorry could we start over, we come here all the time and it seems like we got off on the wrong foot and put out my hand to shake this person's hand. She says well I am the owner and I haven't ever seen you in here before and I said oh nice to meet you, and then as I was trying to tell her about all the events we have at her restaurant she again walked away. Then my husband stepped in and tried to smooth down the situation with her as well. She left and didn't return which is great news because, at this point I was upset trying to decorate as quickly as I could, because I didn't not want this salty encounter to ruin my sister and her husbands day not to mention the family that was attending. The waitress was great and Bartender as usual were awesome as all of the Staff are!! When they brought out the cake I clearly saw that she didn't put the ice cream cake in the freezer as I had asked. It quickly melted and was then difficult to serve, but we managed. I again didn't want to upset anyone about why the cake wasn't placed in the freezer. :( and I didn't say anything to our server either, figured it wasn't worth getting more upset over. I Guess Michelle she showed me,,, right .. wrong... Wow!! I'm thinking it's been fortunate for us that in all the years we have celebrated Husbands, Mothers, son's, daughters and my Birthday's, Anniversary's, and Tower District Car Show's were all spent at this establishment we had never met the owner. Since meeting the owner and being treated as if my patronage doesn't matter nor does my families special occasion rituals, and that being a human being or treated like one doesn't matter to her, I will no longer visit this establishment for any reason. Very disappointed. Now on the search for a new special place for me, family...
