Dos Amigos

I had the worst experience at this restaurant and would not recommend anyone to go there. I recently purchased a silent auction item for charity at an event that my company sponsored and the silent auction basket that I purchased included $80 worth of gift certificates to this restaurant. My sweet sister was killed on March 4, 2018 and with the upheaval of my life and my family's lives I didn't realize my gift certificates had expired. I called the restaurant and spoke to the owner and explained my situation and asked if he could please honor the certificates since they were donated by him and since I did purchase it for charity. The owner was extremely rude to me and finally said he could only honor $40 of the amount. When my friend and I arrived for lunch, the owner was very rude once again and made me explain everything to him again as if he had not just spoken to me. He then started to complain about the organization that he donated the certificates to and stated they were not supposed to put all of the certificates for one person. He made me feel very uncomfortable and acted as if I received the certificates free of charge. The bill came andcthere was a difference of $8 to be paid by me and he made me pay the difference instead of politely using the rest of the certificates. He also took the other $40 in certificates. My experience was horrible and I almost just paid the full bill and not even eat the food. The good was also not good. But service is very important to me and for a small business I look to the owner as a reflection of the business and this owner was the worst and most unkind person I have ever met. I will never step into that restaurant again and recommend others do not either. How can a person donate to charity but not really mean for it to be charity but only for business promotion? Horrible place and owner.
