A Toronto eatery called out after the “Star Trek” star allegedly berated staff and wouldn’t take no for an answer. Manita staff complimented the for how well he plays the part of Dr. Spock on the sci-fi saga, but described him as an awful customer in a scathing Instagram rant posted Monday.
“Yelled at our staff like an entitled child after he didn’t reply to two texts to inform him his table was ready and refused to believe the empty tables in the dining room weren’t available for him despite being politely informed they were spoken for,” reads the posting put online a day after Quinto’s birthday. “Made our host cry and the rest of our brunch diners uncomfortable.” Quinto’s Instagram page shows him celebrating his birthday, but doesn’t mention his alleged encounter at Manita.
The eatery suggested Quinto take his “bad vibes” elsewhere before following up with a second message claiming other celebrities had behaved in a similar fashion while visiting. “To all the other Zachary Quintos out there, on behalf of restaurant workers everywhere: We aren’t above criticism, but we are above being demeaned,” the eatery posted. Quinto’s representatives haven’t responded to a request for comment.
Manita describes itself as an “all day all night 7 days a week mediterranean-ish bistro.” Quinto, who’s from Pittsburgh, PA., starred in three “Star Trek” films and appeared in 28 episodes of “ ,” according to IMDB.
