A Little Moore Cafe & Bistro — Restaurant in Encinitas

Didn’t get a chance to enjoy what I paid for. Walked out with the waitresses arguing with me as the owner stood right next to her and watched.

None of them were friendly from the moment we walked inside, the two blonde waitresses seemed annoyed. One of them actually rolled her eyes at the owner a few times.

We waited 30 minutes for our TO GO order... (we overheard them talking about how one of our orders still wasn’t ready so the owner walked back and yelled at them real quick and the blonde girl stood behind and rolled her eyes... no one came over to us to let us know it would be out soon or there was a mix up) after we finally received our food I asked for hot sauce to go, the lady with the short hair explained that they ordered the wrong size lids and theyre too small and that theres a trick to getting them on.. once we walked back to the car it had spilled all over the bag.

I went back inside to have them rebag it, I also asked for a new hot sauce and apparently she was annoyed at me asking to rebag it cause she handed me the hot sauce for me to pour myself. I said “oh you want me to pour it” and her and the other blonde looked at each other and giggled. I stated “the customer service here sucks” she looked at me with her blank face and said “no it doesn’t.”

I’m pretty sure if I owned a business or worked in the public for customer service I would appoligize to the customer... not try and argue with them...

The other waitress walked by again and as she was passing made the smart comment said “we can always get you another bag!” The lady with the short hair came in and tried to take responsibility for the spill which was nice to hear someone actually being respectful and professional.... as that is their job to serve the customers...........

The owner was standing right there during this whole altercation and I looked at him and said “you’re the owner?” He answered “yes”. The blonde girl leaned back and quickly cut him off “yep, he’s the boss.” as if she felt like she was the boss of him. It was unbelievable... The owner didn’t stop her nor say anything to me.

As I was walking out I told her she shouldn’t have a job and she raised her voice to talk over me and repeated “Merry christmas! Merry Christmas!” Very childish and unprofessional. Luckily all of the customers inside eating saw everything and I will make sure to let everyone else...

I’ll start off by saying I was stunned since the first step inside of the restaurant. It’s modern and has a nice atmosphere. What I was really impressed was that the environment was so friendly that I felt like I was outside of that “professional” full table service restaurant for a while but in a great way, the manager walking around greeting every table and making sure everything was good makes it a really friendly environment and that’s really nice. They were extremely busy and the food took a while to be ready, but it totally worth the wait. Avocado toast was amazing, totally worth to add the egg. Tres leches french toast. Wow. That’s all I’m going to say. It is a must. Thank you again for making my girlfriend’s birthday a great experience. Hope to go again whenever in...
