All was well until the end of the meal when our waitress announced she was dropping the check (while we were still eating). She told us we’d been told we only had an hour/hour +1/2 snd said they had another reservation coming. We told her we hadn’t been told and still wanted to have dessert. She talked to the manger and came back with a dessert menu (which I had while my friend finished her cauliflower). It made for a rushed an awkward dining experience. I worked in the service industry for 30 years. I understand the need to turn tables. But you cannot rush people who are eating at a normal pace (and spending money) like that. It’s rude and makes guests not want to come back. An hour and 1/2 is the bare minimum for a dinner. And no… we were not told. Left a sour note on an otherwise good meal with nice, friendly service. Please reconsider this policy and give your reservations more breathing room.
