GOOD FOOD + RACIST STAFF

If you're a POC, feel free to come, but have your Caucasian friend/ fam be the one to order and/or ask for stuff

Pro The food was great, as usual. The fish and the stuffed pork loin were delish. The spinach- artichoke- garlic dip with the bread was abso wonderful The chocolate dessert was abso amazing The coffee was barely warm

CONS Maybe it's because our group had an automatic 20% tip so good service wasn't required? All in all, we were 4 POC in the group. One of my SiL her bro, me & my mom, while everyone else was Caucasian (we came from my MiLs funeral).

The senior waiter was rude multiple times This is the first time I went there with my kids (who needed adult supervision) and previously went as part of a group.

The senior guy was snotty when I asked if they had paper plates (hubby wanted the kids to have some instead of the glass plates for their appetizer later) Frowning he said, no! I let it be & thought it's a higher end resto so not used to kids. After awhile I asked for teaspoons (again for the kids) He said something something but gave me 2 tsp while frowning

I sat with 1 kid with other fam while my hubby sat with the other child to get to mingle with fam.

After the eggplant cheesy dish was served as entree, I asked if they could serve another bread plate (1 person couldn't eat the cheese filled dish due to a health issue and it would take awhile for the main meal to be served) Waiter said, ok. Then nothing. Crickets. Nada.

By the time the salad got served, I had to ask my SiL to be the one to ask for the extra bread. Guess what? In less than 5 mins her table got bread, while mine never got one. Luckily my SiL brought over half the loaf to our table.

Last straw of rudeness was, as he was bringing in another batch of coffee (I already had one from my hubby's table since I keep moving to and fro tables to ensure both kids ok and I was there when the other waiter offered) The senior guy said "coffee", i said no. I already had one. Then he said something implying I was move tables so that i can get extra servings. Like WTH?!? No, I didn't misunderstand. I speak 3 languages. So guaranteed, I did NOT misunderstand.

IF I wanted more, I can easily order and pay for my own drinks and even food. Also, my inlaws wouldn't mind IF really wanted a 2nd cup. I don't think I looked drab to be treated like a homeless person or someone who have never been to a resto. I've traveled to xx states and more than xx countries. This is the first time I've ever been treated this badly and made to feel inferior to others :(

A very disappointing visit this time. I wouldn't willingly go back there again and if you're a POC esp AAPI, choose another resto else be prepared to be looked down on.
