3/5 Paolo S. 1 year ago on Google
It
was
great
that
they
were
open
outside
of
their
official
operating
hours
(we
visited
to
watch
the
NBA
playoffs
at
8:30am)
and
it
was
great
that
their
menu
offered
vegan/vegetarian
options,
but
our
visit
was
a
good
example
of
how
bad
service
can
really
ruin
an
otherwise
amazing
place.
The
moment
we
walked
into
their
(unlocked)
door,
we
were
met
with
an
unwelcoming
attitude
by
their
server.
Maybe
she
was
tired.
Maybe
she
was
having
a
bad
day.
But
I've
worked
as
a
waiter
before,
and
we
all
know
that
despite
a
long
hard
day,
a
smile
to
a
customer
can
go
a
long
way.
That
didn't
happen
with
this
one
though.
She
didn't
even
show
us
where
to
sit,
so
we
assumed
we
could
sit
anywhere.
We
chose
a
table,
but
apparently,
it
was
already
reserved,
so
we
had
to
find
another
one
on
our
own
(would
have
been
nice
to
know
that
the
table
was
reserved!)
But
here's
the
kicker!
We
were
a
Filipino
family
of
three
(me,
my
partner,
and
her
daughter).
When
foreign
men
arrived
at
the
place,
the
server
was
a
picture
of
great
service.
That
said
it
all
-
this
was
a
bad
case
of
discrimination.
Suddenly,
she
was
talkative,
smiling,
and
overall
more
friendly.
It's
too
bad
because
unbeknownst
to
her,
we're
also
great
tippers
despite
us
not
being
foreigners
(technically,
I
am,
because
I
grew
up
in
the
US,
but
that's
besides
the
point
now).
That
day,
though,
we
tipped
accordingly.
We
only
reciprocate
what
we
receive.
Probably
never
going
here
again.
Three
stars
is
generous,
because
I
don't
want
the
owner
to
go
out
of
business
because
of
a
bad
server.
