Rae seats them and tells them, since they are expecting another 5 to 10 people that this is their table for the night.</p> <p>When the guests attempt to close their 1st tab, and other members of their party begin to arrive, Sabrina comes over and asks how was everything. When she was told the truth, the trouble started. Truth is.</p> <p>They ordered: AHI Tuna Entree' and was served Crispy Salmon that was soft and gooey (refused to correct the order) <br /> Steak Entree' well, well, well done. Was served about 2 ounces of steak w/2 onion rings and the steak was medium rare <br /> Ordered Grand Marnier Straight, it was cut with water or another cheaper alcohol <br /> Ordered two Coronas was served two Peroni Beers <br /> Ordered Coffee, They Had None <br /> Ordered Tea, They had none, So they brought two cups of hot water with a lemon garnish and charged them for Tea <br /> Waitress was rude obnoxious, disrespectful and lacked all the skills that should qualify her for a position of service <br /> Ordered sweet potatoe fries and they were ok</p> <p>They graciously paid their 100+ tab in cash and prepared to enjoy the rest of their Birthday Celebration. When their other guests began to arrive &amp; joined them at the table, the guests asked for menus from the waitress. Instead of bringing menus the waitress brought 2 big security guards and started a verbal altercation with the additional guests. All the guests were verbally abused by security guards and the owner Sabrina and the rude waitress. As even more guests were arriving for the party, they forcefully removed them all from the table that Rae had originally reserved for them. The Dakota staff continued to verbally escalate the conflict and finally ejected the party from the club. Alex the owner said he was being threatened by one of the guests looking him in the eye with an &quot;EVIL EYE&quot;. Further they had to leave a credit card before they could order, and even after they had paid their tab, it took well over an hour to get the credit card back.</p> <p>Funny thing is, they were the only guests that were ordering real food. none of the other tables in the immediate area had any food orders other than french fries. Why did the Dakota lounge and it's staff Sabrina, Rae, Ben. Heather and Alex, toss out a table of music industry professionals that came to spend money and celebrate life. Enquiring minds would like to know.</p> TheoPress http://www.insiderpages.com/b/15247345126 Sun, 16 Aug 2009 02:00:00 GMT http://www.insiderpages.com/b/15247345126#10302340740
