I am soooo frustrated. Why? Because my wife and I Enjoyed a couple of delicious Mojito’s and some of the best fried calamari at this restaurant.

We had settled in. Encouraged by our wonderful server to relax and assured that we were not being hurried. After the calamari we took a moment to fight drinks, we were ready to order more.

So here's the thing, between orders we each had a laptop out. Just doing a quick bit of online stuff.

Out of the blue, one of the hosts approaches us and declares he is moving us to the bar because laptops are not allowed. Which, fine... If that's a rule I can live with it, but it is definitely not posted anywhere.

The issue I have? It's one of tact, manners, and proper customer service. Why not offer us the choice of putting the laptops away and keeping the table? We did not need reservations to get in, it was clear there are other tables available, and the waitress had said there was not hurry.

Why come at us with presumption and a hostile attitude? Anyway, once the spell is broken, it’s broken. We declined to order more food, left a generous tip for our nice server, and took off.

Update... Read the 1-star reviews, it seems what happened is not an isolated incident, and it seems that the restaurant might even be deliberately curating its "crowd" for image purposes, and that whoever oversees the dining area (referred to as "the male host" in other one-star reviews) that gave us trouble has done the same to others. I'd have to guess he does it with the approval of the owners, and if not, then the owners need to know what's happening and apply corrective action.

Given that what happened is not an isolated incident, I felt compelled to drop my review to 1 stars. The calamari really was very good, so it's a true shame this restaurant had to ruin it. But frankly, the way we were treated is totally unacceptable.
