FINDINGS & REMARKS:

Called Shoffee Rooftop Lounge to check on menu and hours of operations - a Gentleman

answered the phone (I believe his name is Bahy) he couldn't understand a word in English or

answer any of my questions (Said "No understand) : couldn't tell me what type of menu items

they have - hours of operation ...etc !! no communication

When I arrived to the lounge - Bahy was the only one there and couldn't assist me since he

does not speak English - he phoned a waiter who arrived shortly (Jonathan)

Jonathan took my light meal order / which arrived in 20 minutes
