Well, we just got a call from the restaurant. They claim that "someone with prior reservations" already had the center tables and they "accidentally overlooked" it when Ken called nearly 2 weeks ago.
(Yeah, something smells fishy about that... Ken was even told "We don't have any other parties that day, so it's not a problem.")
Anyway, they've now "offered" to "remedy" the situation by giving us the two large booths with some adjacent some tables in the corner.
So, when you come through the main doors, turn left and you'll see us. It's not like our crowd won't stand out.
It's sad, because Ken and I are frequent regulars of the place, and often tip 25-30%. Nice way to treat your regulars.... Very bad form. I swear, can't I just have one friggin day this year that something goes right...
