Review of Wakame Sushi and Asian Bistro

I love this place so I won t give a low star review because the owner George is amazing and the food is always incredible. I will warn you though... Several people stand outside waiting without their masks on and do not social distance. I called 4/23/21 to see if we could make reservations or do call ahead seating and the person on the other end of the phone said no only walk-ins. So we went and when we arrived, we waited forever in line to talk to the girl who has far too much responsibility and clearly couldn t handle doing it all. Get her more help! When we finally reached the podium, some other guy comes passed us with a tablet saying reservations, reservations so we we re befuddled knowing we called to make reservations and weren t allowed to. We tell the girl two people and she says, I have to talk to the guy asking for reservations. Like what? We weren t allowed to make reservations and the guy is asking for reservations? So now after waiting in line forever to be turned away, all these other people got ahead of us who were standing in line behind us. Maybe be more specific and have this man say, do you need to put your name on the wait list or if that s too much, wait list? Wait list? We left and went to Stella s and got in immediately and had the best service. Super disappointed and also for a company who thrived during the pandemic, 3+ hour wait on a Tuesday for takeout, you should be bringing back happy hour. Tons of other small businesses in the area still honor their happy hour and didn t have nearly as much success. Please do better! Thanks.
