I stayed in the hotel for a couple of nights, so visited cafe several times. Enjoyed dishes and service.
Just want to ask: please, do not serve water in plastic in the evening.

I’m extremely disappointed and hurt by the experience we had. From the moment we entered, we were met with judgmental stares and subtle hostility. A staff member made a comment suggesting that the restaurant was “probably too expensive” for us — an unprovoked and deeply inappropriate assumption that clearly stemmed from racial bias. We are Black, and there is no question in our minds that this comment, along with the overall microaggressive treatment we received, was racially motivated.
This kind of profiling is unacceptable. Everyone deserves to be treated with respect and dignity regardless of their appearance. We came to enjoy a meal, not to be stereotyped and made to feel unwelcome.
Restaurants like this need to be held accountable and take serious steps toward training their staff on implicit bias and anti-racism. Until then, we won’t be returning — and we encourage others to think carefully about the kind of environment they support with their money.
