Editing my 5 Star Review because of an incident that took place at Beckett's Table.\n\nI'm knocking this down considerably because of the way we were treated the other day. Let me tell you what happened -- it still blows me away. I'll leave the glowing review below so the owners can see what happens due to just ONE employee and the way that person behaves . . . \n\nI had a good experience at this place some time back, and I told my wife about it and she wanted to try it after work. She called the restaurant and asked about what time they would open for Happy Hour, and she wanted to go with me to see what the place is like. They told her on the phone that they open at 5 PM.\n\nWe showed up exactly at 5PM and walked in to make our way to a bar seat. There were other people in the lobby getting seated for a full dinner. As we walked past the host, an Asian fellow, he actually turned from what he was doing and reached out to stop us from having a seat in the bar. In fact, and this is the alarming part, he actually grabbed my wife and stopped her from walking further. I looked back and wondered what the heck this guy was doing touching my wife -- how unusual! And then I saw the unfriendly look on his face. \n\n\"We're not open yet.\" His response.\n\n\"But it's 5 PM, and we called. What did we do wrong?\" He just asked us to go back to the door and wait. At this point, I was fuming. There's no reason to grab people and physically stop them from seating themselves in your bar. That's a bizarre way to do business.\n\nPersonally, I don't know if we can ever visit them again. I tried to get ahold of them and reached someone, but he didn't seem to care a great deal. They were busy and the last thing that he had time for was to deal with a customer who had a problem. Sadly, I think we're out of the Beckett's Table business in our family,\n\n---\nMy earlier 5 star review:\n\nMy partner and I had a great meal in here at Happy Hour. We want to come back now for a full supper. This place knows that Happy Hour isn't the time to stick out some warmed up cheese quesadilla, but to show patrons your flavors and creativity. I loved the taste of my creamy grits with sausage, but we both said \"Too small.\" I jealously looked over at my partner's plate and she had ordered the Mac and Cheese, and wow did it look great. She was raving. I enjoyed a fair price on my favorite beer (yeah, Kiltlifter!) and she had a very nice Sauvignon Blanc - and it made Happy Hour special. This is a merchant that knows how to treat people. That night, we were out \"sampling\" restaurants and we also went to Mejico down the street . . .ugh! That was the exact opposite of Beckett's Table. The owners there are trying to make Big Bucks on their Happy Hour (meaning we'll never be back) while Beckett's Table now gets not only my Happy Hour visits when I have the time, but anytime I need a special occasion restaurant, this is it as long as the food tastes as good off the regular menu as it did that night. We had a very friendly server and sat at the big community table. A lot of fun, great place!
