I often don't complain in this manner, but when arrogance and just plain "bad form" manners are displayed especially by the owner - a comment is in order.
My wife and I were at there bar ordering two drinks and appetizers (ready to order dinner) when I asked the very nice bartender to change the TV from sports to another channel in subtitles. He complied happily. After a few minutes, the bartender told me that he was sorry that the owner wanted it changed back to his channel of his choice. The bartender said he was sorry that he had to communicate this to us.
Understand-we were the only two people at the bar and the restaurant was almost empty. The owner has a reputation of bad behavior in the past.
Don't care if his food is good or bad-common decency and respect should be a given-not here! We left without saying a word. Never ordered the balance of our dinner. He has lost another customer for ever.
