Review


I will never return to this establishment.

Nothing to do with the food but the way the server was dismissive of an old man who came in late by himself. He was told to leave as they're closed but that was a lie. There were several still in the dining area including myself, my partner, and 3 people drinking at the bar.

Server tried to convince him to leave but he insisted.

He only asked for soup.

Server said, I can do soup to go.

While he waited, he paced the floor, hands shaking.

The server chatted with other patrons about how awesome it is to smoke weed and pass out until she saw me looking at the menu and asked if I'd like to order anything else. No, I wouldn't.

Finally, the man got his soup then asked what time they close. She told him 11.

It was 10:38 when he left. He said so, but she said we need to close early so the staff can leave on time. I wasn't asked to leave or wrap up, I was offered another chance to order, but this older man was in need of a hair wash and new shoes and to be treated with dignity.

Instead, the moment he left, the server and other patrons began to openly mock him saying, "oh there's 22 minutes left until closing but not for you!!! Byeee!!!

I find out later this "patron" who was laughing at the man with the server was in fact THE OWNER Colleen.

About herself, she said, "I know I'm going to hell!"

Further, she lied on a Google review saying this man ALWAYS comes in late to order soup and NEVER stays, but if thats true why would you need to insult and treat him so poorly when you could have just given him his USUAL order knowing full well you still had soup.
