I have never witnessed a more toxic place of business. I came here for dinner and had the most wonderful server (a lovely German woman), and the décor was truly adorable - I ended up purchasing some art that was on display - but that's where the positives end. The owner (presumably) arrived shortly after me, and was one of the rudest people I've see first-hand in the service industry. She not only belittled her staff (mocking their pronunciation of certain Spanish words when she herself had a UK accent), but did so at full volume, in English, along with complaining about certain guests at the attached hotel. When one guest asked her politely if she had found a solution to the lack of hot water in her room, the owner (?) told her she should be thankful for the extra cheap price of the room that was supposedly a glitch on the site. I also overhead her telling my server not to open an 'expensive' bottle of local wine for me as I simply ordered a glass - fair enough, but was said in a derisive way in full earshot of me, the customer. I can tell this is not simply a 'bad day' but how she conducts business. I was really appalled at how this person was treated her staff, frankly, and was so uncomfortable I tried to rush out of there after my meal (which was mediocre in terms of preparation and flavour, also). This makes me sad as I can tell this is a unique local spot that seems to have been tarnished by bad management. I really hope this can change for the sake of the community.
