| If you don't like where you're seated, speak up! |
|
You have every right to ask for another table, and every right to be put out if you're not accommodated. If you truly dislike where you've been seated and another table isn't immediately available, ask to wait — or to be moved as soon as possible. Unfair though it may be, if a restaurant is booked, they may not seat two diners at a table that accommodates three or four. Seattle-nice says grin and bear it. I say: It never hurts to beg — nicely.
The GM speaks — (JM Enos, Lark): "The assumption is I'm trying to seat a table that isn't prime, but really, what I'm trying to do is get a table into each waiter's section so that everyone is equally busy. That's my goal as the host. But your goal as a diner is to sit at the table you like, and you should always let me know."
