Re: “A winning Packet House revival”
Point taken, walker, regarding the full capacity. But the tables to which I referred were on the back patio, where people were having a cocktail and most likely waiting for dinner tables. We were not invited to stay there, despite the lovely late afternoon weather. There was no line coming in, we walked right in the front door to the hostess desk. My husband and I both felt we had no choice other than leaving, since “my bar is full” guaranteed an unappealing, boring wait. I would expect disinterested treatment and brush-offs at chain restaurants, where the staff has no investment and could care less if customers leave. But, in Little Rock, at a locally owned restaurant, and newly opened, to boot…one would expect a more inviting or persuasive host/hostess to keep customers, and their money, from walking out the door.
Re: “A winning Packet House revival”
Well, we couldn't get in this Tuesday evening without a reservation. Turned away at the door by the young hostess who informed us in an unapologetic tone, "I don't have any tables and my bar is full, so it'll be an hour and a half wait." So, stunned that a business seemed content to have us walk out, not believing any meal is worth that long a wait before food is even ordered, and somewhat humiliated, we schleped back to our car, noticing the empty tables at the patio in the back, and wondered why they weren't offered to us for the ridiculous wait. It's not like we were dressed poorly--in business attire, since it was supposed to be my birthday dinner. Terribly disappointed and unlikely to ever give a try now. But if you do, for the love of God, make a reservation and save yourself the stinging shove-off from the hostess.

Re: “Packet House Grill”
Wish the Times would have warned us that reservations are mandatory, even on a Tuesday night!
