Worst of the Worst!!!

Here's all you need to know: after paying a $107 bill, the owner, Allie, told us to "get the ef out!!!"
As someone who has frequented Atlanta's dining scene -- and someone who values customer service and simple gratitude -- I was appalled, to say the least.
Here's what happened: one of our party of four did not like her glass of red sangria. I asked the server to replace it with a mojito (which also sucked, by the way). He did. When the bill came, the sangria was still on it. Allie, THE OWNER, came over and gave some ridiculous explanation that Georgia law prevents her from taking off the sangria the bill because it was served. Nowhere was that stated in the restaurant or on the menu -- and the waiter never said a word about it. So, when I told her, "You probably don't care, but we will not come here again," she started on her incoherent excuse that left us baffled. (How many times have you sent a drink back and had it taken off your bill? It happens EVERYDAY EVERYWHERE.)
Anyway, we didn't buy in to her nonsense and started to get up to leave. She, Allie, THE OWNER told us, "Get the ef out!!!" Of course, this was AFTER my card had been charged the $107.89.
Needless to say, we went off. I have NEVER, EVER experienced such disrespect, unprofessionalism and rudeness - and over a $6 sangria, no less.
So, my message is clear: I am not into sharing awful news about anyone or anything. But there is no way I cannot tell good people looking for a good dining and drinking experience not to STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE. THE OWNER HAS NO BUSINESS SENSE AND THE FOOD WAS AWFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This place represents the worst in dining experience in Atlanta. Truly!!!!!!!!!
