    We were seated on time for our reservation and received our drinks quicklyUpon ordering our meals, our server asked us to move to a different table because we were having soup for lunch instead of ordering the buffet (this was her explanation!). This was a business meeting with a group who were being introduced for the first time, so the request to move a table full of beverages , in the middle of our conversation, for a very odd reason created confusion and awkwardness She asked us several times to move while we all looked at each other in puzzlement. As we started to get up to move, another host sat the table that our server wanted us to move to so we stayed out. One of us ordered French onion soup which the server recommended; she returned and said they were out of it; so he ordered chicken noodle instead. She then brought the onion soup in addition to the chicken noodle. After she brought the check, the manager came over and asked us to move tables again with no obvious explanation of why. It was among the strangest and disappointing experiences I’ve had in any restaurant. This is the third bad experience I’ve had in this restaurant in this calendar year. They seem incapable of running lunch service and basic courtesy, so absolutely will not return.
