The service, ambiance and food at the restaurant were outstanding. However, one host was notably rude over the phone, which could jeopardize the restaurant’s reputation and risk losing clientele. Proper manners are essential, and if a customer requests to speak with a manager, it’s important not to be uncooperative.
