Thank you. As we and other patrons nearly tripped over the broom, long-handle dustpan and the piled and overflowing wastebasket right out in front of the hostess stand one Sunday, the hostess acted like WE were in the way and a nuisance. And all we said was, "Table for two please." She treated us like dirt.....but the place was dirty. And the guy cooking at the omelette/frying station was a loud, obnoxious buffoon, "entertaining" with constant banter and sucking up to his pet patrons. As we sat at the sticky table with sticky chair arms, we said to each other "Never again." And we don't mind going to "folksy" types of restaurants if the place and furnishings are clean and the food is good. There, the buffet food was just mediocre.
