I get that you wanted the table so you could seatmore people, but it was at the expense of every single person that was already seated on the patio. The risk/ reward didn’t warrant fixing the table during the lunch rush. There was definitely a better time to fix the table and it was incredibly loud. We only had to listen to it for 20 minutes but the poor tables before us I think it ruined their meal. I’ve eaten there a lot and this experience with somewhat disappointing . Our server was wonderful though.
