The Nickel

This was going to be a food review.  But they blew it.  I'm not going to do it.

Why not?  Because when we went there for lunch on Friday, we waited.  And we waited.  And we waited and watched as people who came after us got their tables before we did.  How exasperating.  

We had an "advance team"- the two of us put our name down for a table of six.  They told us 15-20 minutes.  We waited.  Our friends arrived.  Actually, two groups of friends arrived.  One group of four friends randomly arrived and waited for their own table.  We hadn't expected to see them there.  It was certainly a surprise to see them, and it was an even bigger surprise when the "hostess" gave our friends the first table of four which was next to a table of two that was just about finished.  When we complained at the illogical decision, the waitress then informed us that we could sit four at one table, and two at a "community table" with strangers.  We were out for a group lunch of friends, why would we want to split up?

After waiting for over half an hour we left.  They were not at all apologetic for the treatment.  The restaurant is terribly disorganized.  The food is okay, but not worth the poor service.
