The number of open tables does not mean there is someone available to serve you.

The restaurant was willing to seat/ serve OP’s group when they were sitting outside, so it doesn’t sound like being short on servers was the issue.

Different servers have different sections, and they probably have a limited number of locations that can handle a party that large and it sounds like that section was already in use by another large party.

The servers assigned to outdoor sections probably lost most, if not all, of their tables when it started to rain. There were open tables inside and the online reservation system showed plenty of availability, so it’s not like all the indoor seating was booked up. OP’s group was already there and more than willing to separate into smaller groups so they could continue to stay at Brambly. They even assured staff they wouldn’t hang between tables, but still got pushback.

People always say that, but they never do.

My guess is that there are two sides to this story.

Correct. Literally if they didn’t know we were together and came in and got two tables they would have sat us. And yes they were serving us drinks outside but we wanted more drinks and to get dinner. I have worked in the service industry as stated above

And they would have sat you at different parts of the restaurant.

That would have been fine. We just wanted to eat lol but since they knew we were together they wouldn’t even do that. Hence the fact I said can we pretend we don’t know each other and sit completely separate. They obviously knew we knew each other because we had a drink outside and served us then. Seems very weird and now I see others experience the same
