OK, I'd like to say that I haven't been
in hundreds of bars and restaurants over the years, but I have. In a number of different cities and countries. But this is the first one I have ever been to,
ever, anywhere in the world, where I have been chastized at the bar for sitting At The Bar without ... being seated by the hostess. WTF?!? At a table, sure, that makes sense, but at the bar?
Hey, Ms. Bartender: If your establishment has a policy completely unlike any other regular bar protocol, you might want Not to assume that people will know it. Snap at the hostess, not at your customers.

Prices were reasonable, too.…
