Ok it is understandable that you may prefer a table over a booth in a restaurant, or vice versa. But please understand the following that is pretty standard for most restaurants:
1. We can't read your mind so if you want a booth, tell us BEFORE we are halfway or all the way to the table we originally assigned you. We will do our best to accommodate your request, and it is easier when we don't have to run all the way to the front of the house to view the seating chart to ensure a server is available.
2. When we are halfway to your table or right at it, DO NOT give us attitude like we are supposed to know where you wanted to sit.
3. Understand that while we try to accommodate your request, unless you have a physical need (i.e. wheelchair that needs a table insead of a booth), we need to seat you where we do for reasons I will state next.
4. If you are not seated in your desired location, it is not because we hate you or we are trying to send you some hidden message that you are not welcome, I assure you. We are seating you at that table for the following reasons: Server availability, server load, reservations and large groups of walk-ins and the length of time the other guests have been dining. So if you are seated in an undesirable spot, please think of the latter and rethink on whether or not you really need to be seated elsewhere.
5. If you have small children, do not be offended if we seat you where they will not disturb anyone else. They may be little angels and behave very well, but we do not know everyone personally, who walks through the door. For all we know your kid could have a fetish for flicking olives or having a tantrum when they drop a favorite toy. We are family friendly, but we are also an upscale, fine-dining restaurant and we ask that guests to have courtesy for other guests in regards to disturbing them.
