Marcello's — Restaurant in Town of Pelham

I'm trying to convey my experience from my dinner date with my wife last night but my anger from the experience is too much. We came to Marcello's with no reservation But after a few minutes we were seated happily. Let me say, The reason for our date is to get out and to talk about my youngest son who's about to graduate high school and going to college and just deciding on which college we could agree on. So I say this just to paint a picture of our delightful dinner date/meeting. Good evening, took a turn the moment another patron who could have been inebriated Walk by my seat decided to give it a hard brush to Look back And decide it wasn't necessary to say excuse me. I brushed it off because I'm enjoying my dinner with my wife and I don't want to ruin our evening. On his way back from the bathroom he did it once more not as heavy as the first but to my annoyance. My wife looked at me as asked to say "please don't" and I begrudgingly complied but I did mention it to our waiter who happened to be the manager/owner.

I thought Shane something to my waiter would have made the situation a bit lighter and he seemed to understand but from that moment it felt as if everybody was directed to do just that including him; with a series of "excuse me" and smiles. I understand the place is small. I even understand the fact that perhaps the gentleman was inebriated But for the continuous behavior and not to be rectified. I can only then just finish my dinner to not further upset my wife with what could become a situation but it only took a more disturbing moment that made it far more personal....A younger group who sat two tables away, one young man began to glare towards my wife to make fun.

Of course, I had enough and I'm grown enough to end the visit before escalation.

Now, this is a very small place but there is no way the manager couldn't notice such behavior and I hate to argue skin different but the shoe is fitting and checking all boxes since we were the only people of color that I saw this evening.

We come to Marcello’s very often & Every Valentines Day. We always make a reservation especially for Valentines Day because we know the deal. We have a reservation for 7pm we get there at 7:08. We notice a couple in front of us, we notice that they don’t have a reservation but get seated before us. Nobody asks us if we have reservations, they assume we don’t and seat us at the bar. The BAR. We tell him we have reservations and the couple they sat before us is in our table. He says there’s a mix up but tells US to wait for a table that MAY be available soon. We need to wait for a table? Isn’t that why we made a reservation? He says we are “15 minutes late” No buddy. We got there 7:08, they made us wait an addition 7 minutes. May I add that the couple that took our table was white. Racism? Seems likely. Not that it matters but we recommended this place to many people, not anymore. We also won’t be coming back. May I point out that it’s the Host who gives this racist energy. I felt it since the last time I ate here with my life long friend. We get along great with the waiters & 1 specific waiter who has always been extremely kind to us and tried to help...
