Perng said when she spoke with the manager, she asked him why, once the group told the hostess it intended to order dinner, it was not seated immediately.
Perng said that Sheerin repeatedly said, "'We don't have to seat you.'"
But Sheerin said he could not imagine why the restaurant would turn away such a potentially lucrative table.
"We would be more than happy to seat 15 people for appetizers," he said. "Servers are more than happy to seat 15, because they are guaranteed a 15 percent tip."
But Perng said she was not pleased with Sheerin's response to her complaints.
"I felt that they were very rude and haughty," she said. "The manager had the same rude attitude."
Sheerin said, "When they approached me, the first thing they said was 'discrimination.' I wasn't as nice as I probably should have been because I was upset."
