I'm meeting friends here and was texted by seated friends that I can't join them at their table???

At peak,times there IS a no join policy. Depends on how busy they are. The no join policy is actually posted at the front of the diner

That sounds like a friend problem more than a diner problem LOL. We meet there often. Most of the time if they're busy they want the whole party present before they seat you. But I have walked in plenty of times and joined my party at a table.

Hi Mady, We kindly ask all our guests to have their entire party complete and in the building before they are seated. This is so important especially during peak times and on the weekends when we are at our busiest. Thanks for understanding .
