   Nice dinner. Won't be going back. We have a small list of Charlottesville restaurants that we rotate among to have nice celebratory meals, etc., and for a birthday dinner this evening we chose Tavola, where we've had multiple wonderful experiences in the past. Everything was very nice -- food, drinks, dessert -- and our group enjoyed the chance to gather in celebration in a way that seems to just not happen enough these days. Until.... About 5-10 minutes after we finished our after-dinner coffee and desserts were finished the manager came by and suggested that it was time for us to move along. They needed the table. I think it must have been pretty clear that we were only a few minutes from leaving. After-dessert chatting was wrapping up, we had been presented with, and signed, the bills, but, alas, we just weren't quick enough for the staff. Maybe billing about $400-500 and having a table occupied for two hours just isn't worth it for Tavola. Maybe it's more about the next party and bill, and not about the experience for the patrons. Hey, I get it. It's business. So, thanks, Tavola, for making our future dining venue choices easier. We'll narrow our list of celebration locations down and not be back. Your ill-timed push-out-the-door left a taste in the mouth unable to be overwhelmed by the otherwise very nice food. Wouldn't want to occupy the table or anything like that.
