Chez Mamou - Santa Ana

We have been at and enjoyed this restaurant several times. We made a reservation on Open Table that was confirmed. Had a long walk, parking 3 blocks away. Regardless, we arrived only to see a large sign in the front window “Closed for renovations. See you soon! Angry is not even close to our reaction. Who is the dumb ___ that didn’t notify their reservation site and hasn’t anyone noticed this situation? 12 other parties had made reservations the same day! Made rating all around is a huge zero

Open Table took my reservation but when we arrived, the restaurant was closed for renovations.

While our reservation was accepted, we arrived only to find that the restaurant was closed due to renovations. This should have been noted so that reservations were not made. We scrambled to find an alternative and enjoyed La Plazuela at The Fonda.

I was able to make a reservation on OpenTable and when we arrived it was closed and appeared to have been closed for some time. Very disappointing and then I tried to cancel it and use open table to make a different reservation elsewhere wasn’t able to.

This restaurant is closed for renovations. Would have been nice to know this so we could make alternate plans for lunch in a very busy area.
