  My friends and I were visiting for a bachelorette party this past weekend. We went into this restaurant on Friday and the service was great. However, we went into the restaurant on Saturday and we basically were racially profiled by the manager and a waitress on duty. We sat at the bar to order some sushi to go, and had been sitting there for about 2 to 3 minutes. There were 7 os uf, but only 3 of us at the bar getting ready to order and the others had went to the restrooms. All the customers, who were white, were staring at us. The manager on duty comes over to us and we thought he was asking if we saw a coverup, but he said we need a coverup. Well, I had on a full coverup and so did my other friend and the girl he was speaking with tops looked like a tub top. He basically asked us to leave because we had on our swimsuits with coverups. He didn't even make eye contact us, but asked that we not sit at the bar with our swimsuits. He didn't say, you can sit in a booth or anything, he basically just wanted us gone. We were the only black people in the restaurant at the time. The server that we had the day before sat us at the bar, so what was the issue. We assume that someone complained about us being in there. It was extremely unprofessional. I pointed out to him that a young white lady was sitting right beside us at the bar who didn't have on any clothes and his response was I will mention it to her, but he didn't. The waitress that was being rude said, it is a bodysuit, but it was a bodysuit that looked like a swimsuit. It didn't really have a back which was what my friends top looked like. I walked back in the restaurant because of how I was feeling to get the General Managers name, and the young white lady was still sitting at the bar, but the black girls were not. I took a picture of what she had on. We are in 2017 and were racially profiled for being black. It was a terrible experience and I have not ever felt so disgraced in my life. If you are black, you may want to think twice about visiting this restaurant.
