Review
I have to warn everyone about this restaurant. The owner gave us the wrong appetizer by accident, which we ate because we thought that it was part of our main course, since both had the same ingredients. But when she realized what she had done, she wanted to make us pay for it, even though it was HER mistake! She claimed it was our responsibility to warn her before we ate it, but how were we to know? Even though we were totally calm and never raised our voice, she started screaming at us and wouldn't let us get a word in or respond to our very reasonable explanation of why we didn't warn her. She is extremely unpleasant and clearly crazy. Any half decent restaurant owner would take responsibility for their own mistakes.
