    We had a reservation for 8, but one more joined us. The front desk staff immediately rejected the idea of placing another seat at the table and told us it would be really tight. I understood that, but when we reached the table, there was indeed room for an additional chair. The reaction was truly not customer service focused as the front desk staff then says, let me go find a chair. Mind you, there was a party who had 4 unused chairs, plus a chair randomly sitting unattached to a table. I found this very frustrating as I knew with our parry of 8, we would be spending over $300, which we did. To end the lunch and to my annoyance after checking the bill emailed to me, I was charged 20% tip based on subtotal AND tax, when it should have been just on subtotal. I enjoyed the taste of the food, however found the service to be subpar for the value. I will say that upon calling back to the restaurant, the person who answered rectified the situation. I had to call back to the restaurant twice but it eventually was resolved.

    Excellent Food, especially the the Baltimore Club Sandwich and fries were excellent and hot upon arrival. The waiter was fantastic. Food was on the table within 12-15 minutes from ordering. Great place to eat and great pricing. I tip at least 20% for overall.
