First time here, was with a group of about 20. We reserved a room for 6 but a few people from another group were still watching a game in that same room where their team was behind by about 30 points. Poor planning by Blinco's, manager admitted they usually double book.
Our group had to wait almost two hours for the other group to vacate the room we had already booked. This is totally unacceptable and really stupid business practice as the other group had long past stopped ordering anything. Blinco's could have provided some appetizers or drinks for our group in consideration - they eventually did a little while before we got to the room - a single pitcher for 20 people and only after I suggested it. Pretty clueless.
It didn't get much better. Staff tried but they did not have enough people to assist and it took at least another 45 minutes to take our orders. On top of it all, they still charged the mandatory 20% group gratuity!! How pathetic can you get?
