Dan,

well….., I was not entirely trying to be sarcastic. I fully understand your frustration with the attitude and would probably react similarly to such an experience. Since I don’t think I could change your perception, but have a very different one, my conclusion was that there is a benefit in this – shorter waiting lines.

You’re welcome Trish. While no doubt your comment was meant to make sure, sarcastically, that I know you disagree with me – here’s the point – it’s just my opinion from one visit, and not intended to be anything more than that – and I noted, and several commenters have noted, that it’s not a universal reaction to the place. I would note though, that I’ve heard from quite a few customers at our own place much the same reaction as Susan G has above – they like the food and the staff, but almost universally have had bad encounters when they’ve actually met the owner.

Thanks for keeping the tourist lines short for our favourite restaurant in Bs. As.

While we’ve enjoyed our food on a couple of visits and not had any problems with the waiters, we’ve also encountered “the owner”. On our last visit, and it will be our last, one of our party asked for a substitution on something that she couldn’t eat because of an allergy. The owner came over and told us that we could eat it the way it was, or stay home and “eat whatever the fuck you want”.
