text: We got here around 3 a.m. -- after driving in from San Francisco.  Needless to say, we were pretty hungry and tired.\n\nThe food experience was fine.  They may have been a little slower than usual, but we were too tired to care/notice.  We were seated in about 10 minutes -- despite there being nobody in the cafe -- and we sat down and got our food in a timely fashion (though we did have to flag down the water guy).  Fine -- not excellent, and not horrible.\n\nThen, we're sitting there after we've paid our bill, just talking to each other.  We're talking for awhile -- probably about a half-hour or so, but there's literally nobody in the restaurant.  The entire restaurant probably seats hundreds (it's divided into sections, so it's hard to tell), but in our section alone there are about 10 empty tables.  Anyway, then the manager comes over and asks us if we're going to order anything else.  \n\n\"Oh, no,\" we say, \"We've already paid the bill.  We're just talking.\"\n\n\"Ok,\" she says, \"So...could you please leave?\"\n\nWe're kind of like, ok, whatever, and then she says, \"Because I've got a line of people waiting outside, including a six-person party, and,\" (she gestures around the empty restaurant, \"We need this table\"\n\nWhat?  We thought she was joking!  She was actually asking us to leave because the restaurant was \"so busy\" despite the fact that there were about 10 empty tables right next to us.\n\nWe said that -- \"are you joking?\" -- and she tried to save it by saying she only had one server on duty.  Right, but we were done, we were not ordering anything, and I might even be able to understand if she wanted to keep everyone in one section.  But there were easily 60 seats in the section we were in.  \n\nAnyway, we walked outside and, sure enough, there was a line of about 10 people outside who said they'd been waiting almost an hour -- yeah, for a seat in a near-empty restaurant.  We told them to go somewhere else.
