The first floor dining room was taken over by a special event. We had requested to sit downstairs, so we were notified about this the day before our reservation in case we wanted to change it. We were fine with the fact we would have to go this one time. However when we got there we met Brian, a waiter we knew for a long time, and asked if we could sit at one of the "high top" tables in the bar instead of going upstairs. He said no problem, seated us, and even waited on us. We sat by the window and had a delicious dinner with great service. It was another wonderful experience at Sangria 71!
