I've been meaning to write a review on this restaurant for awhile now but never came around to it. To my amusement, as it is there are so many bad reviews on this restaurant, particularly on the terrible manners of the owner. Likewise, sometime ago, in fact when the restaurant had just opened, I was there with a friend of mine. Our waitress, this really sweet and demure Russian girl, had forgotten to bring something that we had ordered. The owner, who was hovering around our table, getting into everyone's business, started pulling her aside and yelling at her. When he came back to us, (I'm normally not very forthcoming with my opinion, but was so upset by the way he had treated his staff that) I told him that he shouldn't be so upset with her, she really didn't do anything wrong. Believe it or not, he got upset with what I said, and told me that I don't know anything better, meaning anything about good service. Can you believe this? As my friend and I, after being insulted were packing up to leave, he started talking to his Turkish friend, who was sitting behind us, mind you in English, that my friend and I must've just come off the boat just like his waitress. He discriminated and insulted all of us. There are worst human rights atrocities in the world, but they all start somewhere, somewhere probably small because of a remark, an ignorant gesture that trigger hostile feelings and attitudes. DON""T GO THERE. It sure did take me awhile, but I've told every single one of my friends, and especially colleagues at the UN, never to go to this restaurant - the food isn't all that great, and it's definitely not worth being the presence of someone so angry and spiteful. \r
