Lyons Restaurant

Do. Not. Eat. Here. The incredibly rude owner does not deserve your business. The entry was hard to find, so I was on the phone with my friends as I entered. The very brief call was to instruct my friends on how to find the entrance since its behind the building (they were parking the car). I hung up after a few seconds and stood in the empty lobby. I waited for some kind of acknowledgement. A party of two walked in behind me and a male employee emerged from the back, greeted and offered these people behind me a table.

I plainly explained to him that I was next in line. His reaction was totally unbelievable… He told me that since I was on the phone when I walked in, he would seat the other party first. Mind you, my call was only a few seconds long, and he was in the back when I entered, so I’m not sure why he felt the need to have such a poor attitude. The way he spoke to me was unlike anything I’ve ever experienced, and it was totally unwarranted.

I explained that I was on the phone for a few seconds because the entrance was hard to find and I was telling my friends how to find the restaurant. He continued to give me an attitude as he grabbed menus and started to walk me to a table. I flat-out asked him why he was being so rude. He proceeded to tell me that he was the owner and that he didn’t have to serve me. I told him that was fine but that he didn’t have to be rude to his customers. He flipped out and told me to leave.
I told him I would be sharing my experience on Yelp!

As I sit here thinking about what happened, I still cannot believe how this guy treated me. I did nothing more than plainly tell him I was next in line, and I did so courteously… His reaction was over the top, and shows clearly that he is mentally unstable and not well-suited for dealing with the public. Psycho!!
