  1. I think maybe you misunderstood. I was just trying to be affable and clever while trying to get across the idea that we cannot make restaurants bend or break for us as patrons. Ill try to make this brief: 1.Elitism: I genuinely believe that Palena is one of the best in the city, its reviews, acclaims and threads of posts should certainly support that theory. However, I think its unfair to compare a restaurant of this caliber to something like JONES. Having read the review http://www.philly.com/mld/philly/entertain.../4783985.htm?1c (BTW Im particularly fond of the IZOD clad waiters, and home style fried chicken) Im not entirely sure that there can be a sturdy connection there. Outcome? Palena, modern Amercian Fine Dining at its best. Jones: another cliche already worn out. 2.Policy: First of all, if youre late to work does your boss apologize to you. Just be on time, and this isnt even an issue. Why does anyone want to sit alone at a table waiting for someone to show. Sit at the bar or lounge, have a drink, read a magazine and try to enjoy every facet that a destination has to offer. Sometimes restaurants have to be careful and make sure that they dont crowd to many people at once. It just makes for a bad experience for everyone. They know whats happening behind their curtain and the guest doesnt, so just be patient. You want to be taken care of and restaurants want to take care of you. 3.Industry: I am in the industry, and I believe that I work at one of the elite restaurants in D.C.. And I think that people are just a little too persnickety sometimes. And really, unless there is a fly in your soup, or the waiter french kisses your wife how can anyone be upset at Palena. Its cafe menu is $9. BTW Derrick is still the man and the Chicken rocks
  2. Woodleygirl please... some restaurants ask that you wear pants and some ask that you wait for everyone before your party is seated. Its just policy. Ive dined there enough times to know theyre not out to get you. Let it go. BTW Derrick is the man and the chicken is OUT OF THIS WORLD
