Very nice. Any idea how much that ran?

I do believe the parts about Cordish being shady in terms of lease negotiations. But that's why you hire a (good) lawyer if you want to get involved with them.Highlander wrote: I started getting skeptical at "parking was a joke".

"We made a reservation for 18 people for 8 p.m. on a Sunday night, called the day before and confirmed. Our group was comprised of local and national female jazz and blues artists. Upon arriving, we were told thru a locked door that they had closed for the night because it was "slow". I ran next door to the Bristol and the hostess and manager sprang into action, promptly setting up a large table for us and warmly welcoming our group. After a awesome dinner the ladies sang a impromptu round of songs for the whole restaurant to a appreciative staff and room of astonished diners! It was kinda magical. What a shame the Peachtree was unable to honor our confirmed reservation and money."
Totally agreeKC Sporting Life wrote: Let's assume that the guest check average at the Peachtree is around $25. A group of 18, with a reservation and planning on spending some money are probably going to run up a $500-$600 tab. You're going to turn this down so that you can cut your staff a couple hours early and save 50 or 60 bucks? Not to mention the negative sentiment that will get spread by the guests that ventured out to your place and were carelessly turned away.

It makes me a little uneasy because I know what it's like to be wrapping up side work just to be told that you just got a table. I try to tip well in those circumstances -- because we're not a party of 8. And we've gotten the "sorry, we closed early" thing a couple of times, which just reinforces my hesitancy. My husband's position is that they want the money, they want our business, nothing to worry about here. It's good to hear that some businesses feel that way.
