We showed up at this restaurant at 2pm on a weekday. The restaurant was half full so we asked for a table. Our party was three adults, two toddlers, and an infant. The hostess looked at our party and said "in order to sit in this section everyone has to order an entree" and gave us a blank stare. Clearly the infant wasn't going to eat an entree given that she can't consume actual food, but apparently this restaurant doesn't accept people with infants.
We asked for a solution. One hostess claimed we could sit at the bar and not order an entree...however her next sentence was that kids weren't allowed at the bar.
We stood dumbfounded and asked what she wanted us to do. A second hostess chimed in and claimed we could sit at the bar. Apparently she wanted two toddlers and an infant on barstools 4 feet off the ground.
We looked at the half empty restaurant and asked why in the world we couldn't sit at a normal table. They both kept repeating "every person has to order an entree in this section" like demented parrots.
We requested to speak to the manager to see if they had a resolution to our seating dilemma. The hostess said "what do you need to talk to the manager about?"
We left, walked down the street and spent over $150 for a delicious meal at Yankee Lobster.
Go to the Yankee Lobster and save yourself the trouble.
