"I was here last year with my fiance to order a meal to celebrate my birthday. One table aside from me, a younger gentleman who seemed to suffer from some sort of intellectual disability sat down. Of course, I believe in being all-inclusive and took no issue with such an arrangement. However, **over the half and hour** or so wait me and my fiance had for our meal, we were bombarded with the constant noise of racial exploitives, which seemed to be especially directed at my fiance's african heritage. I tried to be polite and to not alert staff, but I wish that they could've done something!"
