The Hideaway At The Lasalle

Yikes. I was trying to meet up with my brother here. It was drizzling out and he was running late, so I came inside of the building (but not quite into the bar) to wait for him. He was facetiming me to let me know his eta. Midway through our conversation, the owner/manager (unsure who he was) came out to the hallway, got up in my face, super-aggressive, and demanded that I get out immediately. I was sober and in a cocktail dress, which is to say that I definitely did not look sketchy. He told me I was disrupting the patrons. I said, with forced politeness, that I had yet to interact with anyone, and I was waiting for my sibling, and asked if perhaps he has confused me with someone else who might be causing trouble. I guess he doesn 't like people waiting in the hallway? My brother (still on facetime) was laughing at first but quickly became furious that someone would treat a woman who was by herself in such an outrageous way. This guy did not relent, and I wasn 't about to stick around to see if he 'd follow through with his threats. I said good night, sir, and got the FFFF out. So, I 've never actually made it into the bar, and I never intend to after being berated by this lunatic. Pro tip: sometimes women don 't like to sit in bars by themselves because it makes them feel nervous/unsafe. Guess what makes them feel more unsafe: when they get threatened by the owner/manager of the establishment for patiently waiting (in an area quite far away from the door and other patrons) for their guest. Avoid this nightmare. We 'll spend our money elsewhere tonight and going forward.

Have been living here for over a month and have really enjoyed it! Although I have had some maintenance issues, they were solved in a fast manner. I love the view and the vicinity I am to the many parks and trails, coffee shops, restaurants, and bars. The location you cannot beat!

A completely unethical display of business!!!!! This business booked a date to sign contracts and get paid in full and then took a walk in and booked the date out from under the people she told days before come in on this date and time. They do not take payments over the phone you have to make an appointment time. Which was done, no call no nothing till after the fact. What I was told was even with an appointment that doesn 't mean they 'll show. A conversation on this Monday knowing full well that they where coming and to not even call and say hay can you make it sooner or can someone else come in. Completely unethical!!!! What 's the point of booking an appointment if there not even going to honor it. Says to me they could take your deposit and because you didn 't pay in full and someone else is willing to pay in full couldn 't get that day.

So as somebody in the wedding business I don’t usually bad mouth other people in our line of work. But as Groom I’m up I’m beyond pissed off! Today while at work I got phone call from the LaSalle building where I was planning to have my wedding reception. The young lady on the phone proceeds to tell me that our date is no longer available because a couple who “walked” in today paid there deposits for our date. This wouldn’t be a problem and I wouldn’t be pissed had I not set

They set an appointment time up for a contract and payment for an event then took a walk in off the street and booked them instead of the one they made an appointment with. they knew full well that that date was wanted and booked the appointment. bad business ethics. no call till after and it was to cancel the appointment with the couple who were already on their books for payment.
