Today I had gone to go eat breakfast with my mom here at this location the food was great and the hostess was quick and took care of us.

When we were met by the waitress she had initially greeted us in spanish my mom had not heard her and because of this the hostess immediately switched to english assuming my mom didn't understand what she was saying. which was understandable at first however my mom had laughed it off and told her in spanish no she prefers spanish she just hadn't heard her the first time. After that the waitress didn't switch back to spanish and decided to only stick to english. My mom prefers spanish as that is her stronger language she kept responding in spanish so the waitress would switch back but the waitress kept only speaking to her in english. Considering we're in LA I was surprised that she kept doubling down on the english when someone is speaking to her in spanish.

It could have been dismissed as her not understanding what was happening, but I couldn't help but notice every table around us she spoke in spanish she even spoke to me in spanish a few times. the whole thing was kind of bizzarre as it gave the impression she was going out of her way to refuse to speak spanish the preferred language of the customer when she was fully capable of doing so.

Beyond that odd interaction she hadn't really checked in until the end the hostess had to come and help with drinks. she checked in once and that was it never got our drinks topped off had to wave her down for anything else. It's one thing if this restaurant was busy but it was pretty empty. I feel with all of the options we have today if we just wanted food we could have gone anywhere else especially this plaza alone. When you go to a sit down it's because you'd like to have service and unfortunately it just fell flat here.

Heads up parking is horrendous in the plaza but typical for LA!
