See my other thread on Tierra del Sol. When we arrived we were asked if we had reservations and we said we did not. We were told we really should have. The dining room was empty. This was 4pm Fri. We (4) were seated at a table for 6. When waitress arrived she asked if we were there for the fish and we said no but there for the special advertised in the paper. She didn't know about it so we gave it to her. She left, came back and said it was a misprint and was for next week and there was nothing she could do. We asked for the owner/manager who was quite rude and said it was a wrong ad. We explained we came because of ad and would it be honored. He said it wasn't his fault and threw the ad on the table. No offer of apology or comps and stomped off. Not a way to run a business especially when they are running all kinds of radio ads, newspaper ads and asking people to come because the course is closed. A lady arriving when we were leaving said she overheard us and that what he did was illegal and called bait & switch. I know it's illegal in MA but did not know about FL.
