i would not recommend this restaurant to anyone not wearing a suit and tie. if you do not fit the cookie cutter mold of what they expect their cliental to look like you will be made to feel extremely unwelcome and unwanted. My friend and i were waiting in the lobby for our reservation when Jim Armstrong approached to seat us, it was at this point Jim asked us to remove our hats or else we would not be seated. Of course this presents an issue as 529 doesn't have a dress code, my friend and i had eaten there twice in the previous weeks leading up to this debacle and each time we clarified there was NO dress code. if we would have known hats were a no go then we wouldnt have worn them, however according to their dress code we were dressed appropriately for the evening. we had eaten in the establishment twice that month previously each time wearing a hat without incident. Jim judged us on our appearance even though we're quickly becoming regulars and the whole experience really put a damper on the evening to say the least. that evening Jim was trying to get us out the door ASAP and i asked him for his personal # so we could discuss this when he had more time, he gave me a card with the steak houses # and email. When i reached out to 529 via email i was ignored giving me the impression Jim answers the email. That evening we went to Prairie 360 after our atrocious experience at 529 and were seated without any hesitation.
