Discriminated against a pregnant woman & a child!!
We used to go to the David Duncan House regularly to celebrate special occasions (anniversaries, birthdays, etc). Normally when my husband and I would go there, we tended to get a lot of "stink eye" (very dirty and judgmental looks) from the wait staff because we look young (we're in our 30s) compared to their average customer, but we tended to ignore it because we enjoyed the food and the ambiance. Since it was my birthday the other day, we decided to have dinner there and we brought our 2 year old son with us. Needless to say, the "stink eye" was even worse this time since we brought a toddler with us, but again, we chose to ignore it. Our son was quiet and ate happily until the main course arrived, when he started to fuss. While we were trying to calm him down, a waiter came to our table and said that someone had "complained" about the noise, so we resumed trying to get our son to quiet down, however, one minute later, the bill was placed on our table (I was barely halfway through my entree). We were appalled that the staff did absolutely nothing to try to rectify the situation and instead took the cowardly way out and felt it was appropriate to throw us out midway through our meal (they never asked if there way anything they could get for our son to keep him happy, nor did they offer us another location to sit at -- the restaurant was virtually deserted and there were many other places that we could have sat that would have been away from whomever complained). To top if off, as I was attempting to get our things together and get my son ready to leave, the wait staff just stood in the corner and glared at us the entire time until we left. I am 5 months pregnant and they didn't even offer to help us to leave! We will NEVER be returning to the Duncan House, and if you are under the age of 65, don't bother going there either unless you want to be discriminated against!
