I visited your restaurant with my family on 12/24/24 and 1/1/25. On both occasions, we were seated next to other occupied tables despite there being plenty of available seating in the rest of the restaurant. A four-person table becomes quite cramped with four dinner plates, plantains, mashed potatoes, and fries, and it's even more uncomfortable when nestled between two other occupied tables. I understand if the restaurant were full, but on January 1st, we were seated at 12:45 PM after the lunch rush, and the restaurant was fairly empty. The same issue occurred on December 24, although I did ask to be moved to a less crowded section. On January 1st, I did not make this request. As a former hostess from a high-end restaurant in NC, I believe the hostesses at your restaurant could benefit from some coaching to improve guest seating arrangements.

Food was ok. Steak was very chewy and very small lobster/shrimp on what easily seen as a hot dog bun.
