2/10 Terrible

"The breakfast was great, but the server was terrible. We were seated at a table in the back—as it was the only large one that could accommodate our family of seven—when she turned to us and asked, "Could you move from this table?" I asked why, and she told me it would make it easier for her to serve the drinks. The restaurant wasn't even busy—there were only three tables occupied—yet she had the audacity to ask us to move? I was truly very upset by this situation."
