If I could give this horrific restaurant negative ...

If I could give this horrific restaurant negative stars I would. After my experience tonight I intend on telling every person I meet going forward NOT to ever even think about going to this location. I booked a reservation for 8PM on OpenTable at around 6PM. When my friend and I arrived at the restaurant we had to push past a crowd of people all waiting in the screened in porch area outside the door. I assumed they didn t have reservations and were waiting to be seated. I went ahead of everybody and gave my name to the only hostess working. She told me that it would be a bit of a wait even though I had a reservation but as soon as a table for two opened up we would be seated. After 15 minutes of being crammed into this small space with tons of other people we came to discover all of the people waiting had reservations and some of them had been waiting for over an hour for their reservation. It was now 8:20 and I asked the hostess if she could tell me if I would be waiting 5 minutes more or 30 minutes because I already wasn t happy that a reservation was so useless to this restaurant but I didn t want to wait another 30-50 minutes when I could of been eating by now at another restaurant that actually respects their customers time. The hostess REFUSED to give me an answer and finally said it could be anywhere from 30-90 minutes wait. So my 8PM reservation means I would be eating at 10PM possibly. I walked out and booked another restaurant nearby that took us in immediately. I love Patrizias in Red Bank, N.J and wanted to try the Brooklyn location because I assumed the food and service would be just as good, however because the restaurant over booked their reservations I didn t even get a chance to eat their food. Beware that if you make a reservation here you still may end up waiting 1-2 hours!
