After telling the server 4 times counting in clarification as I was asked again and original order, my matcha was still served with dairy milk instead of oat milk I was so lucky to doubt their competence and confirm again twice before taking a sip (they seemed disorganised or I never would have asked). The server did apologise but blamed her colleague saying āshe didnāt tell me oat milkā even though I told them both separately myself during this havoc. Then comes the food which tasted lovely. However, we sat the closest table to the counter and displayed our table number only for the more mature shorter haired lady (who is usually impolite but not this much) TOUCHED my husband on the back and snapped āIāve been shouting for your food for about 3 minutes Iāve been outside and everythingā we said nothing and she said again āIāve been walking up and down with itā.
