On Friday night, a woman named Lindsay Means says she and two of her friends were walking by Wolfgang’s Steakhouse in Tribeca when two customers, echoing comments made by Donald Trump, shouted “grab them by their pussies.” According to Means’s Twitter account, the two men, who were smoking cigarettes outside the restaurant, repeated the comments several times after she confronted them. More troublingly, she says, employees then came outside and told her and her friends to calm down, that the customers were good guys, and to let them enjoy their meal.

Last night, as 2 of my friends and I were walking past @Wolfgangssteak Tribeca, 3 men smoking outside shouted "GRAB THEM BY THEIR PUSSIES" — Lindsay Means (@lindsaymeans) November 12, 2016

We confronted the men and asked them to repeat themselves. They did, several times. We started yelling at them @Wolfgangssteak — Lindsay Means (@lindsaymeans) November 12, 2016

They kept saying it and saying "ladies, calm down. Ladies, calm down." One of them called me "darling" @Wolfgangssteak — Lindsay Means (@lindsaymeans) November 12, 2016

Over the weekend, the restaurant contacted one of Means’s friends on Instagram to apologize for “the inconvenience.” The friend responded that it wasn’t an inconvenience; it was sexual harassment that was “said by your patrons and condoned by your staff.” Means and her friends returned to the restaurant over the weekend, where the manager apologized and reportedly said of the customers, “[T]hey were drunk out of their minds, but that’s not an excuse.” The restaurant tried to offer them a free meal, but the women demanded an apology and were given the CEO’s email address.

Last night, Wolfgang’s apologized for the incident on its Twitter account, stating that it didn’t “condone harassment.” This was one of two reported instances of harassment of women by Trump supporters in New York over the weekend: Another woman was reportedly punched in the face after getting into an argument about the election at Brooklyn bistro Bar Tabac.

We do not condone harassment of any kind.

We’ve reviewed what occurred Friday night at our TriBeCa location and spent today internally addressing how it was handled by our team. — WOLFGANGS STEAKHOUSE (@Wolfgangssteak) November 15, 2016

The restaurant also apologized directly, via its Twitter account, but appears to have addressed that apology to the wrong account:
