Chef Peking — Restaurant in St Albans

The extremely serious faced man who was at the door who was supposed to meet and greet customers? He glared at us like we were from Mars, looked my husband up and down and did not have a good energy or good customer service skills . We sat down to order and my husband felt so uneasy he said let's leave. This was our first visit here and a treat for the weekend after a hard week at work.
