Rights of Man

We had the unfortunate experience of dining here yesterday when a patron and the manager/owner(?) had an extremely loud, profanity filled row and scuffle. I understand these things happen, people get drunk and out of control. What I don't understand is the person in charge who thought it was a good idea to verbally and physically challenge the offender at the top of his voice, "Come on then!!!" with a bar/restaurant half full. He didn't even have the good manners to come around the tables and apologise for the upsetting scene, but sent a young lady to do it. Our lunch was ruined. The least they could have done is taken a percentage off the bill. If the food had not come when it did, we would have left. We later saw the offender being detained by police down the road and remember seeing him at the bar, eyes glazed over, and acting a bit off. I imagine a good rule of thumb would be to not overserve people who already look like they are three sheets to the wind and maybe avoid an altercation altogether. As for the manager/owner, I think he needs to learn some de-escalation tactics instead of inflaming a situation at the expense of his customers.
