Weird Experience at Joan's in the Park
On a throwaway account since I did also leave a Google review with this info.
Recently became aware of this page and wanted to share a warning on this restaurant based on a weird dining experience I (F) had with my husband (M) last night.
The food was lovely, our server was amazing, and honestly right up until the end everything was great! Towards the end of our meal the owners sat a few tables over with some diner they seemed friendly with. Upon the departure of the table seated between us their table conversation immediately turned to whether or not the other table were transwoman. I personally find this wholly inappropriate for the owners to be discussing with other diners in the dining room in clear ear shot of other tables. I know you can't always know where people stand before you dine there but I do think there should be a baseline of respect and professionalism in all settings and this was neither to me. I have emailed the restaurant as well to share my disappointment and as mentioned left a review with this information.
Do with this info as you will, but wanted to share incase it spares someone else having a bad time here.
