My friends and I walked into the restaurant shortly after it opened and all tables were open except for one where three people in casual attire were sitting. As the hostess began to walk us to our table one of the men at the table stood up, made eye contact with the waitress and pointed to the far corner of the restaurant as an order of where our group deserved to sit. I assume the man was from management based upon his directive. Three other groups came in afterwards and the man did not make the same gesture while they were seated in other spots of the then empty restaurant. Who knew bigotry and prejudice was alive and well in DC in 2019?
