Simpkin's Family Buffet

On Sunday, December 31, 2023, 5 members of my family decided to eat at Avanzare after church.  Arriving before noon, customers were leaving and arriving.  We told the hostess the number in our party.  As we waited, I went to the restroom. I noticed two large tables pulled together for a group of 14.  A party of 5 had just been seated at a table for 8 as I returned to the front to wait with my family.  Several parties with fewer numbers were seated.  We asked the hostess if the tables could be pulled apart since we were a party of 5 and the next party had 6 individuals.  She replied, &quot;I must ask the manager.&quot;  The manager came forward and we asked our question.  The young man stated, &quot;We cannot separate the tables.  We may have a large party arrive.&quot; I said, &quot;You have two parties that you could seat immediately but you MAY have a large party show up?&quot;  The manager just said, &quot;You have a nice day.&quot;  This made little common sense to me--customers with ready money or a possibility! My party of five left for another restaurant.  The party of six may have stayed but the three children were already restless.  Just a word of caution: if you are willing to stand and wait in a party larger than four (very little seating while waiting) or if you go at a slow time, Avanzare may be the restaurant to choose.  Larger groups are apparently difficult for this restaurant.
