    Res had a sign saying it was closed. Why OpenTable would allow a reservation at a closed restaurant is beyond me. Ruined our night out in the city.

    I reserved a table a week in advance and received 3 reminders and confirmations over that time period. We showed up at the restaurant on February 6th to find a note on the door that they are closed indefinitely. Please do not reserve on this site, call the restaurant directly to see if they reopened.

    Restaurant was temporarily closed. We did not receive notification of this until we tried to go into the building and there was a sign on the door. We had tickets to a show and had to scramble to find some place that would take a walk-in for 5. We luckily found a place to land near by and they got us in and out in time to make it to PPAC. Very disappointed in the lack of communication from the establishment.

    I made this reservation through Open Table on January 9 for February 5 for my husband’s 82nd birthday. I received confirmations constantly up to the day of the reservation. When my husband and I arrived at the restaurant, there was a sign that stated the restaurant is no longer open and sorry for the inconvenience. This completely ruined a birthday celebration and bordered on elderly abuse as two senior citizens were left on a cold sidewalk with no entry. I cannot believe the lack of customer service on both the restaurant’s part and Open Table. I always use Open Table ; however, I will do my best to make sure everyone knows of this celebration debacle.
