🤮 1/5 - Might be a good restaurant...if you're white

I was prepared to give this a 5 star rating, based on the 1sthour of our time at Le Bilboquet. It was this past Saturday and the weather was perfect. My boyfriend and I decided to go out for a drink and enjoy the beautiful weather and ended up at Le Bilboquet. It was our first time there and we didn't do any research about the restaurant, but it looked cute. When we arrived, we entered through the door closest to the parking garage. We ended up walking through the restaurant and made our way to the hostess stand. We asked for an outdoor table, but the hostess told us that there weren't any outdoor tables at the time, but if we wanted, we could have a drink at the bar and she'd get us when a table became available. So, that's what we did. We sat at the bar and my BF ordered a blackberry mule and I had a glass of rose. The bartenders were so friendly and were able to answer the questions we had.
Approximately 45-50 mins later, the hostess came by and asked if we still wanted to sit outside, we said yes. So we closed out our tab at the bar and went to the hostess stand. Someone walked us outside to our table. As soon as we were seated, I could see 2 men approach our table. One was the waiter and I have no idea who the other man was. I was facing them and could see that the 2nd man was looking at my boyfriend's shirt (my BF was wearing an Everton soccer jersey) and my shoes (flip flops, but nice ones) and he looked like he was pissed off that we were seated. They approached our table and the 2nd guy started telling us that they had a dress code policy and that we were in violation of that. Before we could even process what this guy was saying and respond, the waiter interrupted him and said that because we had already been served inside that there was nothing they could do. The 2nd guy was not happy at that and huffed off. The waiter then took our order and we thought that was the end of it. But, regardless the whole situation was super bizarre. The 2nd guy came back to our table about 5-10 mins later and said that he was sorry (didn't seem like he really was) but he needed us to leave or we could go to one of the stores and my boyfriend could buy a shirt that wasn't "athletic wear". We said absolutely not and that this was ridiculous and that we would leave but we were not going to pay for the food and drinks we just ordered.
I have no problem with restaurants having a dress code policy. What I have a problem with is the inconsistency from this restaurant. Had we been told this from the start, we would not have had an issue and would've left...no big deal. What I have a problem with is that we were in the restaurant for close to an hour, served drinks, talked to the 2 bartenders, had many restaurant employees see what we were wearing and not one person said anything. The only person that seemed to have a problem was the 2nd guy who was monitoring the outdoor area.
Look, the restaurant is cute. The drinks seem to be fun (I had a glass of rose), the wait staff and bartenders seem like they know what they're doing. I can't speak to the quality of food because we didn't have a chance. But, the way they (mainly the 1 guy whose only job is judging people and their attire) treat customers is not acceptable to me. It's even more odd during this time with what COVID has done to the restaurant industry. I feel bad because the waiter lost out on a table/tip due to nothing he had done. We ended up going to another bar/restaurant around the corner and when we walked past Le Bilboquet and hour later to go back to our car, the whole outdoor area was empty. In this day and age, Le Bilboquet's dress code policy is outdated and seem to be targeted towards a specific type of clientele. After that interaction, I did a thorough look around me and all I can say is that if you end up going there, just look at how white washed the restaurant it. In Atlanta, this is the whitest (clientele) restaurant I've ever been to.
