“My issue was not with the waiter. We arrived on time and there was a fifteen minute wait because they were backed up. That's fine but then they called our name as a party of 2. The OpenTable reservation clearly said 3. Then they told us we could not be seated because our 3rd person was not there (train issues). I said I'm going to order for her so it will not hold them up and we have a show to go to. They said no it was not fair to others. Fairness was not at issue. If I order for the third person the restaurant and others are not harmed. Then later they came back and offered three stools at the bar instead while we waited for our third. That made no sense. We would be tying up 3 stools anyway instead of one booth and I still would have ordered for our third. Then they sat the two of us a few minutes later anyway. At that time I ordered for our third as promised and she arrived 2 mins later.”
