Would Not Serve Us.

Would Not Serve Us.

I had my Fiance, Aunt and two Uncles with me. We just wanted drinks, because my Aunt and Uncle had been there before and said the food was not consistent. We told the hostess that we only wanted a round of drinks and asked to be sat in the tent portion because my 81 year old Uncle has a hard time walking and there wasn't any seats at the loud, barely shaded outdoor bar. The hostess sat us, but within minutes a woman came over on crutches and said we could not sit there unless we were going to order a full meal. I looked around and saw that there were only two or three tables of customers and the rest of the place was empty (I would have understood the rule if the place was actually busy or even partly busy). I told her we would only be there for about 30 minutes, but she said we had to go outside instead. My Uncle asked if we ordered some appetizers if we could stay, but she said no. I explained that there weren't any seats outside and pointed out that the place was empty and I did not understand why she was turning down business. She was rudely insistent so I decided not to argue with her further, because at that point they did not deserve our business and I was thoroughly turned off. It was a weird experience, because we felt like we were the rude ones daring to think we could have a drink there. Don't worry LaMotta's, I won't dare to come to your establishment again.
