With all due respect, their function is to make money, so they can pay their staff and be there when you and your wife want to eat lunch and dinner and to offer you reasonably priced meals. Although you expected hospitality, some decisions have to be made by management about a bunch of guys coming in for cokes after golf. Maybe Manhattans after golf. The Manhattans would probably cause the seatholders to linger a LONG time and take up space from potential diners.

Some things sound unfriendly, when in fact they are only common sense. The fact that there was no place for you to sit, shows that many like to go there.

We love Cane Garden and it's servers always are very thoughtful, efficient, hardworking, courteous, and really perfect, so far.
