Thai House II

I've been coming this restaurant for over 10 years and have recommended this restaurant to family and friends for the food,ambience, and service. Recently a friend and her husband were visiting from out of town and I was excited to recommend this restaurant after finding out they loved Thai food. Prior being seated, I inquired about the area that was blocked off and was told it only opens up when the general area of the restaurant is full. The food was good as usual, although one my guest said they have had better coconut basil curried beef (pamarang). We at times would take breaks in our eating and we noticed the waiter was coming too often asking for our plates. We kept telling him please let us keep our plates as we're not finished eating. It became annoying and distracting when at least 4x he kept approaching and interrupting our conversation. Although we paid the bill after completing eating we were still enjoying talking a little bit more and drinking our drinks of water. Even one of my guest went to the restroom and upon his return was going to ask the waiter to take a few pictures of us. And then all of a sudden the manager came up to our table and said he needed the table and we had to leave right now. I was so embarrassed and shocked that we were asked to leave like we didn't spend money on food or didn't pay a bill. In all my life I have never been excused from my seat by a manager after eating and patronizing their restaurant. My poor guests verbalized they never experienced anything like it from where they came from. Imagine the feeling of embarrassment and shock as a visitor in Florida thats how patrons are treated. I tried to keep it light hearted as I didn't want it to ruin their evening as we still had plans after dinner. I asked the Manager to take a picture of us so we would have memories of the visit between friends but now it's a reminder of the poor service and undue embarrassment. I didn't want to address my dismay at the time with management as it would ruin the evening further. So when I called the next day and spoke with the Manager he was apologetic and said he would address this issue with staff at a meeting, he unfortunately did not extend a compensation for ruining a dinner experience. A gift basket to my guests or voucher would of shown sincerity . Unfortunately it will be my last time visiting and recommending this restaurant. It's left a bitter taste in our mouths. I'd recommend Panya Thai and rice Asian house for alternative authentic thai food.
