Another abusive animal. People complain the cops sit outside this place and entrap people. Guess what, who cares! Losers like this going to the Sunset Grille, I hope they continue to hang out. Hopefully someone puts a beat down on this individual. Obviously they drank too much. Maybe someone should investigate that place? Lousy food anyway.

Obviously if you don"t know what your talking about the woman works there. She was closing the restaurant at that time. The man was not even inside The Sunset. Get your facts straight before you speak!

Then go to PJ's. Sorry you have such hate in your life that you have nothing better than to bash a family business. Remember what you project out is what you get back . Feel sorry for you.
