Shocking service

As we early with booking (5pm) it was quite empty inside, I took my daughter out for her birthday. The girl working did not greet us at all, walked us silently and awkwardly to table (obviously in a bad mood). Didn’t initiate any convo. Didn’t offer to get drinks. Didn’t even really talk just looked and came across awfully grumpy, she made my daughter feel very uncomfortable so we actually left. It was awful
