Maria and I have been awaiting the opening of Larkin's in Eagle Rock... but Rose over at A Blog Away From Home had a bad enough experience there -- actually, she calls it the worst she's ever had -- that my enthusiasm is now way down.
She writes:
We were both really looking forward to having dinner here, as we're locals and it's the highly anticipated new Eagle Rock restaurant, so I made reservations ahead of time.
We walked in and no one greeted us. It was like walking into someone's house uninvited. We waited and waited, and finally when one employee walked towards us I thought "ok this must be it", but nope...she kept on walking right past us without saying a word. After more waiting we were approached by a second employee who took my name but never came back. Still more waiting.
After all this waiting, one of the owners (Josh) approached us only to tell us, "I'm sorry guys but we're not serving anymore tables."
What? Even though we have a reservation?
The guy gave us major attitude and made us feel awful by falsely accusing us of being over 15 minutes late.
Josh: "Oh, you're Rose? Well, it'll probably be around 40 minutes until a table becomes available. We didn't think you were coming and gave your table away. Typically we only hold your table for 15 minutes. That's our policy. Just wait outside and we'll call you when a table opens up."
Needless to say, they didn't stick around long enough to actually sample the food.
