Me too! We were in the area looking for a nice quick lunch. at 11:30AM we walked in and were promptly told all tables and the bar were full for lunch.\n\nI was shocked that a restaurant which was completely empty, save one table of 2, would turn away 2 well dressed business people. But they did! recommending a reservation next time. \n\nNote to owner. There are enough other restaurants in the area that there will not be a next time for me.\n\nSo we heard the same story at the resto 1.5 blocks away, but they took us....\n\nan hour later we walked by L'Appartement and guess what. Empty tables, not full bar. Two people not likely to come back any time soon.\n\nLesson for the owner. \"A Bird in hand is better than two in the bush\"\n\nhttp://www.answers.com/topic/bird-in-the-hand
