Today is Sept 22, 2026. I drive by fisherman's retreat everyday because my aunt has one of the…read moremajor ranches of n the canyon. But I've never been in there recently. About 10 years ago I went in there to see if I could get some ice from they have a little store. The girl was so unfriendly and rude to us and others in that store to peopleat that time I was shocked. I never went back until today when me and my worker I've been noticing that there is a cafe there now. Apparently the pastramis there are really good, as we heard they were the same people who ran the similar restaurant in Moreno valley which we used to go to regularly. We are two over-60 clean cut guys. We're not a couple of bums. Although no one should ever judge a book by its cover. We decided to pull in and give it a shot. We had no idea where the restaurant was located. We got you the front gate and out comes this old heavy guy with a pigtail and immediately showed a bad attitude. We asked him where the restaurant was because we wanted to go there. He CLEARLY and rudely said, "Straight ahead!" (There were no signs anywhere showing where the restaurant is...). He said "Straight ahead" in a very nasty way (like he really wanted to say, "Straight ahead, you morons). I am an engineer/business owner and my friend is an electrician---we're not dummies. Straight ahead means drive straight ahead. So we did about 200 ft. So he comes running out of the guard gate yelling at us to "Get the f*** out of there", waving his hands aggressively, like we did something illegal or wrong. We turned the van around around and told him calmly, "We can't hear you clearly with our windows up and you did tell us to 'go straight up')", and that's when we heared him swearing at us. Rather than say nicely, "I apologize, Sits, I should have been clear that the restaurant is to the left, not straight ahead". Instead, he went on some kind of psychopathic (?) rampage, telling us to "Get the f*** off his property". I wish I would have videotaped this---it would be all over YouTube! Next time I will have my car video recorder on. We never swore and we were polite. Next time we will tape it to show you the owners and the restaurant. And we will be back! He refused to tell us where The Cafe restaurant was, so we left for fear of our lives (literally). We pulled over on Oak Valley/ San Timoteo and called the restaurant owner and also the onsite temporary manager girl who answered the phone. She said to call the general manager tomorrow and said she was very disappointed in that type of behavior on the part of the front greeter, our first and only impression. The restaurant owner was very sympathetic, upset, and shocked that he is turning away customers. She said that this fellow was possibly substituting the front gate for today. She expressed the same shock because her and her husband are trying to run a restaurant that is independent of, but located in fisherman's retreat. She's put signs on Oak Valley Road telling people to come on into the cafe. I would hate to be in their shoes and have this kind of a threatening monster turning people away from their business. No matter what happens, this has put a very negative dent on this entire facility and I hope this Yelp review (and the Google review) help change this place. I think the restaurant Cafe at this point can demand that that person not be employed at that facility. What kind of facility puts that kind of a monster as the point first person that people meet. What happens behind the scenes that nobody hears about or sees? Unbelievable. Again, let me describe the guy: he was portly, about 5 ft 9, late 50's (?), he had a braided hair pigtail hanging out of his hat (not professional). No greeting was done initially, such as "Welcome. How can I help you." Just a curt "straight ahead" sarcastic attitude followed by a bunch of obscenities, and throwing us out because HE directed us in the wrong direction. Unbelievable!!! I feel so sorry for that restaurant having to have a monster like this in the front entry. Being local nearby residents, we may try to go back to the cafe and we WILL videotape everything from our car camera this time for the sake of showing the management and the restaurant, if it turns out badly again. I can't imagine how this guy treats Black people, disabled, elderly, or Hispanic people. By the way, the girl that answered the phone told me that she thinks he is the guy that goes around checking people's entry tickets and stuff. It would scare me to think this guy is running around that place at night. I mean this is not normal behavior by any stretch of the imagination. If it were my business, he would be terminated the next hour. This is a business, not his personal domain.
