"My friend wanted to get a bite and do a quick little birthday dinner. We were looking for a place to eat and said walked into Bella Blu because it seemed relax and was empty. The hostess was nice. We were seated in a corner which was great because I do not like being in the walkway and have people pass me. However, our waiter Jaime, not sure I do not recall him introducing himself to us, was horrible. He ID us which is fair we do look young but he made a comment, You look older, so... And, I replied, That is rude, but this is my birthday dinner. He did not even say Happy Birthday, just shrugged , because he could care less. The pizza was great. He kept checking on us over 5 times. May I add there were other people present and they were not visited a much as us. I may need to also state that we both are females that are of color West Indian and West African). I did not appreciate the over-customer service. I was uncomfortable and was debating if I should say something to the waiter. But, we both did not want a disingenuous apology. His whole aura exuded that he was tired, over it and did not want to be there or to be bothered. I hope Management can see this post and speak to him. There was another gentlemen who cleaned up our tables. He wore glasses and a ponytail. He was friendly, polite and seemed genuinely sincere. There was a dramatic difference between the two employees. As we left the hostess was kind, even the gentlemen who was a waiter for the outdoor seating. What was up with this man Jaime or whomever that was Latino, a big round and short in stature with greyish-black hair in a ponytail? We likely will not be returning. I also strongly feel anyone of color should not visit this establishment."
