Cafe La Scala

Absolutely terrible experience. We went tonight for Valentine's Day, the owner was having some kind of meltdown. Was shouting the entire time, being rude and condescending to his staff and making the customers incredibly uncomfortable. There were 2 waiters working, one had only been on the job 1 day, and the other only 3 days. The owner/chef was utterly abusive to them. We got our appetizers long after our main courses. Everyone was getting the wrong food, nobody was smiling... 2 other couples left mid-meal. There were no more than 5 tables seated to begin with. What an awkward, terrible night. Never experienced anything like this before, period.

We booked reservations online early to go to the movies. We received confirmation but when we arrived they had no idea we were coming. It was just the chef there. He was "strange, excentric". We all stood around debating whether to leave or not. But because we didn't have enough time to find another place, we stayed. The server came in a few minutes later and saved the day. He quickly got the ball rolling and we felt welcomed and it was back on track. The chef actually does 'Chef' very very well. The food was so good. We enjoyed the food and do recommendations going, just maybe not so early 😉.
