The Anamia's seating bluff

Last night the Mrs and I were looking for a dinner venue, and we settled quickly on the always-popular Anamia's, just across FM2499 from our neighborhood. During rush hour, Anamia's usually requires a wait in the small foyer before seating. But what happened last night was a first.

We pull into Anamia's around 6:15pm and we ask for a table on their patio. (Last night was beautiful, perfect for outdoor dining.) The hostess tells us it will be 25-30 minutes. No problem tonight, so we decide to wait. We have to stand at first because there's no available seating, but a moment later, a couple of chairs open up, so we take them. Within 2 minutes, the entire waiting area is cleared, and within another minute after that, we're seated at our table. So while we were promised (threatened?) a 25-30 minute wait, we were seated within 4 minutes. It's certainly better than the other way around, but what's up with that?

They need a bigger restaurant. We like their food - but it is really loud.
The only thing that drives us crazy is that they won't seat you until your entire party is there.

We used to eat there often, but no more. Recently, I ordered a taco lunch which came with merely a few shreds of cheese. When I asked for some more cheese they charged me an additional $1.25. I complained to the manager and she refused to remove the charge. I'm done. No more of my money goes to Anamia's!
