To the owner - Just to clarify …. Your staff advised me that the empty tables would be allocated to people in the queue (as would be expected) and we’re not in fact ‘booked’ as you claim in your reply. As it was nearing closing time they were simply not interested in seating anyone. As I mentioned in my review - we would have easily finished eating our desserts by the time the coffee was ready and like anyone with common courtesy we would’ve taken our coffees (as take away) and happily left at closing time. The long queue on the public holiday wasn’t the problem at all as that’s to be expected, but the ridiculous way I’m which we were denied the opportunity to actually eat our dessert on an EMPTY TABLE that had nobody waiting to be seated was appalling.
