Incredibly disappointed with how rude a sales associate was in the children’s section. The representative could clearly see I was with two young children. They enjoy books but admittingly were a bit too ambitious with how many books they wanted to purchase. As My children were trying to choose which books to purchase from the short stack, the associate was huffing and puffing at how many books were taken out of the shelves. As I tried to put some back on the shelves, my children got tempted to select a few more and I knew we had to make our exit.

Im even more disappointed considering I was recommended this location as being incredibly friendly with a great dining experience from another mother of...

This burger comes with brioche bun. Why would anyone service bread made with milk and eggs on a plant based burger?

The server said she didn't know if there were other options. After a blank stare, I asked her to find out. She comes back and says we can sub with sourdough but I have to charge you. (Yeap, charge for a downgrade). We agreed. The meals were ok, not as good as I remember. The sourdough toast was over toasted and the edges weren't edible.

When the bill came it appears they don't actually have a way to up charge for bread. Instead we were charged for avocado... Perhaps I am being too sensitive but Ive never been charged to sub for toast for a fancy bun on an...
