Had to wait 45 minutes when the restaurant had 9 repeat 9 empty tables. We're told tables being held for reservations. Not true. They sat empty long after we finally got our table. While we ate other tables became empty to the point over half the restaurant was empty. As we exited we noticed that the lobby was full of people waiting for a table. The host told us he was only doing what he was told. The logic escapes me to have customers wait when there was ample room for Walk in costomers and to satisfy reservations. Don't know if I will return.
