The Pompadour - Fairport Harbor

My husband and I have been to Spain and love Tapas. A couple years ago we visited an we sat at the bar and heard the chef for the first 30 minutes having a temper tantrum cussing yelling and banging pots and pans. We didn't want to leave so we mentioned it to the owner they went in the kitchen and stopped it. My husband since passed away. But his parents were in town from Ireland for our daughter's wedding. Last night I asked them to go up with me for one drink and one tapa. I never really get to go to places like that anymore since I'm on my own. They used to live in Spain and enjoy tapas as well. The owner said we could sit at the bar but there were only two stools. I said that's fine I will stand. She said I can't have you in the isle. The space between the bar stool and the tables. I said fine I'll stand between the stools. We will be real quick. Just as we were about to sit my cousin recognized us and came over to give us a hug and say hi. The owner then came from around the bar put her hands on my 80 year old father in law and nudged him aside and said I can't have you people standing here like this. We explained we we're going to sit down and we're just saying hi. She started to get irrational and insisted so we left. What a shame. She may have had reservations coming in at some point but the place was half empty when we arrived. Whoever heard of a bar where you can't stand next to a stool? The place may be small but not that small. Smh
