Tripadvisor Top complaints
Additionally, I had placed my spoon and fork in a crossed position, a common signal of ongoing dining, I was taken aback to discover that a staff (not the server) had set dirty glasses on my table, which was a disappointing oversight in terms of cleanliness and lack of training.
