Annie and service team were great. Food above average on buffet with good variety
Everything was amazing, except for one guy that wear white uniform that serves the meat who gave me attitude when I made mistake. He throw the serving spoon and keep yupping, it made me uncomfortable,
He ruin my appetite and the good experience.
He seems to have a bad temper, I hope he does not gave this same attitude to his co-worker who makes mistake.
