| - So I am here now with my significant other. We came in to the restaurant around 6:30AM, and the waitress, (I believe her name was Karrie) completely ignored us. We tried three times to ask her where we should sit, and each time she proceeded to very blatantly ignore us! Finally, the waiter (Michael) must have noticed what was happening and kindly helped us find a seat immediately. Now at first, I just thought Karrie was just rude, and poorly qualified for the job, but after sitting for a few minutes I began to notice something. Each time an older white male entered the restaurant, Karrie greeted them with a warm (and very loud) welcome! She would say things like, "Good morning! Have a seat where ever you'd like!" Or "Good morning! How are you?!". After observing a bit longer, I noticed she only provided service (I.E. topping off drinks and bring tabs etc) to the same "genre" of customers (white males), and all of the minority customers were all serviced by Michael. Now, I don't know if it was the waitress' personal issue against people of color, OR if that is what management has instructed her to do, but either way, I will not support a business that allows blatant discrimination in any way shape or form.
On a side note, if I were basing my review solely on the service we received from Michael, then 5 stars hands down! If my review were solely based on the service that we observed from Karrie, I would give this place negative stars if I could.
If you are a person of color, please be aware of the blatant discrimination by the waitress or possibly management, and be sure to leave Micheal a good tip because he's excellent!
