Turned away from here tonight at 8.35pm even though restaurant doesn't close till 9!
We were told it was take-away only after 8.30pm. The restaurant was dead, nobody else was seated, so it was clearly because the girl who told us we couldn't be seated wanted to get out the door by 9pm sharp. The kitchen could have easily rustled us up a couple of burgers within 10 mins! We asked the girl to make an exception as we'd just been turned away from BRGR in Shawlands as their boiler was broken down(?) but she said no, she did the same last night and "the table didnt leave till 9.30"! Is this by problem?

Despicable service, the owners should be ashamed. If you say you are open till 9pm on the website (with no mention of sit-ins being 8.30pm latest), then be bloody open for business until 9pm!
