A post on Instagram reads:

Zachary Quinto – an amazing Spock, but a terrible customer.

The restaurateur accused the actor of yelling at his staff, bringing an employee to tears and making the restaurant’s customers uncomfortable.

The restaurant claims that Quinto yelled at staff like a child after they failed to respond to two text messages informing them that their table was ready. Quinto allegedly refused to believe that the empty tables in the dining room were not available for him despite being politely informed that they were reserved for other customers.

The actor, who was celebrating his 47th birthday on the day of the incident, had no comment on the event at the time of writing.

The owner’s message on Instagram is clear:

“Mr. Quinto, take your bad vibes elsewhere, we have many lovely celebrities joining us at Manita but you are NOT one of them!”
