                            Open table took the reservation but when we got there a man behind the bar started yelling at us to get out because they weren’t open for another hour. Told him we have a reservation and he again yelled at us and said we don’t take reservations. The person working there was very rude so even if they opened for us at that moment we weren’t staying.
