Eventide Grille - Sea Bright

For a long time Eventide customer here who spent thousands of dollars over the many years being a loyal customer. We'll never return because of an incredible rude manager. Came out to enjoy our first dinner since Covid. Just outside seats. Enjoyed a little more than half of our meal when a thunder and lightning storm descended on us with 40 mph winds. The four families sitting outside needed to seek immediate protection in an open room with roof doors, which was then partially opened. Social distancing has been practiced. The manager storms in to chase everyone into the dangerous weather, where there were strong winds, thunders and flashes. When we asked if we could only stay for a minute to protect ourselves from the storm, his answer was “going in your car and going home” I then told him that we had not yet paid our bill and did not intend how he treated us. He then went on to throw us out and tell my wife to "stopp" as he does not like us to question his decision. His next move was to call the police to these loyal customers who have supported this founding year for many years. It's hard to believe that this terrible manager WillIng is trying to put life in danger by compelling people into the dangerous weather. I really hope the owner sees this review as we have never expected such a thing to happen in a beautiful place that we have visited for many years. By the way, food and service was terrible, but we were completely fine with it when we understood that these companies suffer because of the pandemic. Note, Eventide employs very rude managers and we will never spend another meal in this place.
