| - If you have small children and are looking for a good place to have breakfast with your family, this is NOT the right one. The food is good and most of the staff is friendly. In fact, I considered myself a frequent client at this restaurant and every time I had a chance I would take family and friends there. Never again. This morning I took my in-laws visiting from abroad for breakfast. I have a 17-month-old son and as every toddler that age, he has the tendency to be a bit noisy, talk loud and try to get attention. Since the beginning, we noticed that one member of the staff was not very happy to have him there. She tried being subtle at first by making faces every time he was a bit loud.
If you have children you will know how when someone is not nice towards your child it hurts you even more than if they were not nice to you. By the end of our meal my son wanted to get off his high chair, was standing by my side and sat on the floor by the hall. Then the same "unfriendly" person asked me to move him right away because he was in her way. I understood that he was in the way and wanted to move him without him making scene but she did not give me time and repeatedly and rudely asked me to move him. When I told her we were about to leave she kept on insisting. Obviously this person doesn't have kids, I thought, and has no idea on how to talk to the customers. I told her she didn't need to be so rude but she kept on going on and on. Her attitude surprised me and so I asked her name (I thought the manager would like to talk to her about being compassionate and understanding) but to my surprise, her response was "Heather Chell, and if you want to talk to the manager, that's me, and if you want to talk to the owner, that's me". I was so shocked by this that I could say nothing else but leave and make sure that I would never come back there again. I am writing this because I was shocked by the lack of tolerance she showed with my son. If you have a baby/toddler and want him to be treated right, please go somewhere else.
