Yet he had the gusto to ask me to leave if I didn't pay full price for food? After ordering an app and two beers and being told HH had already started? Sorry - that's shit service. He knows me by face - we said hi EACH time I was there before. I'd been there SEVERAL times in the past. Within minutes, the owner is at our table telling us "If you're not going to order off of the full price menu, then you need to forfeit your seat until HH, which starts at 9." We'll have an app and two beers as well." We were then brought our beers and HH menus. Doesn't start til 9.but I'll bring you an HH menu since it starts in 30." "Great. We wait an hour and a half and sit and the waitress walks up with the full service menu and we ask "Where's the HH menu? Gal on the phone said HH is at 7pm". Called one time to ask when happy hour was and I was surprised to hear them say "starts at 7pm." So my buddy and I go in and its jam packed.
