On Sunday, Sept 4, Guitelle and a few of us met up at The Shed Restaurant<\/em><\/a> in Plainview. It was part one of the get-togethers for my brother’s birthday. There was initial frustration in that it did take some time for us to be seated. I was already there for an hour before we were notified that they were ready to receive us. This was after we saw groups of similar sizes being ushered in while barely waiting. Sure, we noticed that they weren’t as colored as we were. We not-so-jokingly wondered whether that was the reason. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the notification came we were expecting to be ushered inside. After all, we spent the waiting time standing. While it wasn’t hot outside, it wasn’t cool either. We assumed that we would be brought inside to sit in the AC. We couldn’t fault the establishment since we didn’t ask. But we were disappointed as we were led to the patio area at the side of the restaurant. Generally, I would like to think that most restaurants would have offered options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I couldn’t help but think about the pizza restaurant across the parking lot that would have seated us inside with no problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The patio had large overcasting umbrellas. This didn’t completely block out the sun. We adjusted ourselves to help those of us that the glare was directly on. While that then became somewhat manageable, nothing much could be done with the temperature. I also can’t fail to mention the bees (oh yes, the bees) that we were already introduced to during the wait. They now felt more at ease seeing that the food started to arrive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The idea of sitting outside near bushes is picturesque but it rarely pans out if bees and humidity have anything to say about it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
