Open table needs to be attentive of their seating arrangements. I was placed in a spot that was so crowded that my chair was kicked at least 30 times during our meal. Either servers were walking behind me accidentally kicking the legs of my chair - or other patrons were walking by and the space was so tight that they ended up doing the same thing - it was VERY annoying and resulted in a terrible experience. And when brought to the attention to the staff - they seemed helpless as to what to do. I might as well have been at Taco Bell.
