The manager is responsible for how his people serve the public or not and is most likely the real culprit in the scheme. However, he should be told why he is losing customers....SOMETIMES they do catch on or wake up.

Let me see if I got this right --- there were 16 people wanting to sit inside the restaurant area of Cane and have some drinks (maybe one drink each) this is the area where people usually have dinner and spend maybe $25 on food and then a drink or two - but your group wanted to have a drink in that area - and was told "NO" --- There were no seats for 16 people outside only at the entrance veranda, where they would not serve the one person who wanted to eat, and the reason he was hungry was because he is single and does like to cook ( solution to you problem - get married or learn to like cooking ) so anyway you as spokesman for the group of 16 will not go back to Cane. If I owned Cane, and my manager told me this story I would give him a raise. I wonder why the place was so crowded - maybe all the winter people who should have to wait until the frogs are all seated ---I really hope Cane makes it through July and Aug without declaring chapter 11 as i really like it there and i guess there will be 16 vacant seats this summer - sorry 15 - I will be there.


Oh dont forget to tell the manager he probably dont catch on why he is doing so well without you and the 15 others
Seems like most posters on this site go right to the manager -- has anyone called the manage to tell him it was a GREAT meal or GREAT service
