Our visit to BJ’s in Kissimmee this…
Our visit to BJ’s in Kissimmee this past Friday was extremely disappointing. When we arrived, the host seated us right next to a very large birthday party. I politely asked if we could be seated somewhere else because the restaurant was almost empty at a little after 4 PM, before the dinner rush even started. The host told me that was the only seating available, yet I watched him continue seating everyone else on the opposite side of the restaurant. I completely understand that the birthday party had every right to enjoy their celebration, but we also had the right to enjoy our meal. The noise level was unbearable. We literally had to scream at each other just to have a conversation, and eventually we had to lean so close across the table that it became uncomfortable. They could have easily closed off that section for the party and seated the other couples somewhere quieter. I worked in the restaurant industry for many years, and I know this could have been handled much better. To make matters worse, the wait for our food was over an hour, which made the whole experience even more frustrating. I mentioned it to our waiter at the end because I honestly felt bad for him — he seemed completely overwhelmed trying to keep up with everything. Overall, the experience was awful, and unfortunately, I will not be coming back.
