The other thing, besides the cleanliness, that I appreciated was the prices of the food! I noticed that items that normally cost me $5 at the Bravo, cost less than $4 and in some instances $3.

He replied rude to a customer that was trying to pay some items and he just asked if they were on sale and he was so rude that the customer didn't want to buy it. That position demand an educated and professional person.! I just hope the owner can read...
