She defended her presence by mentioning her status as an SNL cast member, but the manager was unfazed, treating her with indifference. Chloe described the encounter as a 'Karen moment', highlighting the rude atmosphere prevalent in New York. DJ Samantha Ronson, who was with Demi Moore, confirmed Chloe's account and expressed her confusion and dismay over the manager's behavior.

Chloe Fineman and her sister Emma had an enjoyable day until they visited Sant Ambroeus, an Italian restaurant on Madison Avenue, where they encountered an unpleasant experience with a rude manager.

Upon entering the restaurant, Chloe noticed several empty tables and greeted Demi Moore and her dog, Pilaf, recalling previous interactions with them backstage at SNL.

The restaurant manager approached Chloe in a confrontational manner, questioning her presence and implying she needed to speak to someone else to gain a seat, despite the restaurant's emptiness.

Chloe attempted to assert her status as an SNL star, but the manager remained indifferent, insisting on treating everyone the same and escalating the confrontation.

Chloe shared her frustration and self-awareness of her reaction, which she described humorously as a 'Karen moment' and a reflection of New York's generally rude demeanor.

Samantha Ronson, dining with Demi Moore, corroborated Chloe's story in the comments section of Chloe's TikTok post, expressing her own confusion and offering support.

Chloe responded positively to Samantha's comment, suggesting a preference for the downtown restaurant location due to its better atmosphere.

Chloe Fineman is detailing a not so pleasant experience at a restaurant in New York City.

In a new TikTok, the 36-year-old Saturday Night Live star recalled how she was scolded by a “rude” restaurant manager when she went up to say hello to fellow patron Demi Moore and her tiny beloved dog Pilaf.

She noted that a cordial server took them over to a table right away.

“There’s several empty tables and I sit down, and then I look up and it’s Pilaf little mouse, the celebrity dog of Demi Moore,” Chloe recalled. “And I see Demi Moore and I was like, ‘Oh, hi!’ We’ve met once or twice and I’ve held Pilaf because Pilaf was backstage at an SNL show.”

“She fully said hi back also,” Emma added, clarifying that Chloe didn’t intrusively butt into Demi‘s conversation.

“The manager sees me. I don’t know, maybe I had no makeup on — did I not look legitimate enough for this empty room of Sant Ambroeus?” Chloe continued. “And the guy’s like, ‘What are you doing here! Ma’am, come, come with me.’ And I guess I didn’t realize you had to talk to another Italian guy to get a seat even though there’s like a thousand empty tables. It was very confusing.”

“I was like, ‘Calm down. I’m not nobody. I’m on SNL,’” Chloe recalled telling the manager. “He was like, ‘I don’t care who you are. I treat everybody the same.’ And I was like, ‘You’re being rude,’ and he’s like, ‘You’re being rude!’ Anyway I don’t want to get into details, but lets just say a personality of mine started to come up that I don’t love. I took myself out of the situation. You could call it a Karen [moment]. I also call it living in New York and everyone is rude as f–k.”

“All I did was say hi to Pilaf little mouse,” Chloe added.

After Chloe shared the post, DJ Samantha Ronson, who was dining with Demi at the time, took to the comment section to corroborate Chloe‘s story.

“Lol. I was there with Pilaf and her mom and we were so confused and horrified,” Samantha wrote. “That was so rude. I’m sorry. You can sit with us, next time.”

Chloe responded to Samantha, writing, “Hi!! I know i was trying to say hi!! Next time (and downtown location is waaaay better vibes)”
