"Staff were so rude, aggressive, unprofessional, and judgmental when we visited for my birthday dinner on Saturday evening. I arrived first before my partner and was shown to a table upstairs right next to the door. It looked as though I may block the door when sitting down. My partner is almost 7 feet tall and definitely wouldn’t be able to sit comfortably without blocking the door, nor could he sit on the other side of the table as it was pushed up against the neighbouring table. I called a passing waitress and told her about my partner’s height and how I didn’t think we’d be able to sit there. She looked at me angrily and said “we don’t have any other tables”, to which I replied okay, I’m sure it’ll be fine- I just don’t want to block the door. The server then huffed at me and walked back down the stairs to which I could see her talking with another server and pointing to me up the stairs. It felt very uncomfortable, like I was being judged and laughed at. When my partner arrived he attempted to sit down and could only just squeeze into the seat. My partner called another server over, a different one this time, who was just as rude. This time they seem confused as to what it was we wanted/what the problem was, even though my partner was clearly having trouble sitting at/getting into the chair due to his height. The waiter angrily showed us to another table. We then heard the table next to us who had clearly been waiting for a long time if they could order their food. My partner and I decided that we didn’t want to stay and so we left the restaurant. We’ve been regular customers of Bar Soba, but after this experience, we definitely won’t be back. I’ve checked the other reviews and this isn’t the first time something like this has happened. AVOID this restaurant!"
