Sorry you had a bad experience. I’ve been there once and it was the best meal I’ve had anywhere in the city for quite some time.
If you were offended by not getting a booth at Springhill, beware Bohemian. They’ll put you at a ‘tiny’ table as well unless you are a party of four. In these tough economic times restaurants just can’t afford to have 2 people use up a large table while groups are waiting. In your case it sounds like the booths never filled up, but it’s tough to predict when a bunch of groups will show up.
Ama Ama is awesome!
