As that table had a view of the entertainment, we asked our server if we could move to that table. After checking the Reservation List, he came back and told us the table was available and moved us.
1/2 way through our meal (45 minutes after we had sat down), the "host" came over to us and insisted we move from the table, as it was "reserved". We were 1/2 way through our meals. He didn't even do the "moving", we did.
In what universe is that acceptable hospitality service in a restaurant?
As an aside to the incompetent management, my friend's steak dinner was OK, my Chicken Piccata tasted like a "Stouffer's Frozen Dinner", not fully microwaved. I sent it back once, but when they still couldn't manage to do any better, I gave up.

I am understand your frustration. I like Red Sauce and hope this type of thing doesn’t happen to me. Usually a restaurant would ask if a party minded moving.
But for those who have answered that they would refuse to move, I’ll say this: you are a quest in their establishment. If you are told to move and refuse then the police would probably be called to move you. The same that would happen like on an airplane. See what would happen to you took someone’s seat in a biker bar and refused to move when told.
