APALSA has not filed a complaint with the Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination, and Chang said, "we do not plan to at this point."
But members of the group did send a certified letter to Sheerin and the Temple Bar detailing their complaints.
According to Chang, the letter arrived on Friday and "said we felt that we didn't receive good treatment."
The letter did not say, however, that the APALSA members felt they were treated unfairly because they were Asian-American.
"There is no mention of discrimination [in the letter]," Sheerin said.
The APALSA group went to Temple Bar last Tuesday evening around 9 p.m. to celebrate the election of its executive board, said Sue W. Perng, former co-chair of the group.
Perng said the group waited approximately 10 minutes for a table before asking the hostess what was keeping them from being seated in the two-thirds-full restaurant.
