Blatant ************** and the Worst Management I’ve Ever Encountered

I’m honestly very disappointed with the service I received during my recent visit. This restaurant has always been my go-to spot whenever I want good food, so I called ahead and made a reservation for a table for three. I specifically requested a particular table, confirmed its availability, and was told it was reserved for us.

When we arrived, we were suddenly informed that we “were not suited” for that table and that we would need to sit elsewhere or outside. When I asked for the manager, the same man I had spoken to introduced himself as the manager and continued to insist we couldn’t have the table. He claimed that to secure that specific table, we should have booked 48 hours in advance — something that was never communicated during my reservation call.

What made the situation even worse is that shortly after, other guests of colour arrived and were immediately given that exact table. Throughout the interaction, the manager, Tariq Sirkot, was extremely rude, dismissive, and unprofessional. At one point, he even told us we could leave if we wanted to — which is completely unacceptable.

Because we were celebrating my sister’s academic achievements and it was already late, we chose to stay. The only positive part of our experience was our waitress, Elanie, who provided excellent service and helped make the evening slightly better.

Overall, the experience was a zero. I expected far better treatment, especially from a place I’ve supported for so long.
