    one of our favorite restaurants is CLOSED. So disappointed. We took an uber there after the reservation was made. Why would open table take a reservation with a restaurant that is CLOSED,

    The wine list shows $10 a glass and $19 per bottle. Looks like a deal prior to getting a wine substitute. When you get the check the wine is $49 per bottle with tax and 20 % added. You just got robbed. This is Ole Ole steakhouse and Tapela. Open Table please investigate and notify your members. Give them a Dirty Tricks award. They have earned it.
