    I gave it all one-star because the restaurant was closed for Reno's. You accepted my reservation and when my clients and I showed up it was closed. I got an email and a text asking the day of my reservation asking if I was going to make it. When we arrived, there were signs on every window saying closed for Reno. How could you take my reservation and know you were closed. I went through the restaurant website to make the reservation. I looked foolish to my customers for wasting their time meeting me at a place that was not open.

    This place is closed. Open Table needs to take it off as I got a confirmation the day before. Please remove this restaurant from the list of available places.

    Was here once before and enjoyed it, so wanted to come back today - unfortunately when we arrived we saw from signs in the window that they’re currently closed for renovations. Unfortunately we were not alerted that the place would be closed when making the reservation or in the time leading up to the reservation.

    Open table let me make a reservation when the restaurant wasn’t open. I showed up with a party of 12 and had to scramble to find a new place immediately.

    I reserved a table for Cafe Iguana from their website. It linked to Open Table. I drove 50 miles from Long Island only to find out the restaurant was closed for renovations. No indication on their website and nothing on Open Table to advise of this.

    Restaurant was closed for renovations. Very frustrating to walk all the way there only to have to find another place to eat.

    They are closed for renovations so I'm not sure why I was even able to make a reservation!
