    We arrived for our reservation and the restaurant was emptied out. They hadn’t paid rent since 2019! We were not warned of the restaurant closure beforehand. It was a complete surprise

    The waiter was very rude, we ordered a dish and he asked if we were sure for the price. He tried to humiliate us for being Latino
