When Dining Out Requires Accommodations, Always Ask for a Manager

Kudos to Cantina Laredo in downtown Austin. I was with a party of 14 with original intentions to dine at Bar Chi Sushi, but delayed arrivals, miscommunications and a very crowded restaurant thwarted those plans. I popped into Cantina and asked the bar manager if they could take a late seating and accommodate a table of 14.  Of course they close at 9:00 and it was already after 8:15, but they gladly seated us, then rushed drink orders, took our dinner orders and got everyone plated within minutes. Not only was the service first rate, the food was awesome. No one complained! Cantina is not always the first place that comes to mind for modern Mexican food because we have so many choices for such, but they truly outdid themselves.

Many thanks.
