I went here today with my grandmother on my day off from graduate school. I have been here many times and it has always been great service. Today we were in a sunny seat so we moved to another table before food arrived to get some shade (97 degrees). Waitress brought food, and another comes out 5 minutes later and makes a giant deal out of putting some paper under our food on the table (honest mistake on our end, this becomes a trend….) and has my 88 year old grandmother lift her plate and glass herself (comical to ask from a physical therapy student perspective). We eat and it’s great and go inside to pay like it was the last time I went (maybe two years ago) at least how I remember, honest mistake if this was never the case. The owner is inside and extremely rude, and proceeds to lecture us how we should let them know if we need an early bill. So weird, I just need to get back to school and we had thought we politely waited outside. She was extremely hostile and lecturing for absolutely no reason we both had the best intentions going inside to pay, even browsing the ice cream. Comically rude and if you are a citizen of la Canada, let alone one with grand age and wisdom, avoid this place lest you be talked down to like a child as well by the owner. Almost never leave reviews but so upset at the way my wonderful grandmother was treated today.
