These are not the standards I have come to expect from your establishment. Additionally, the overall cleanliness of the restaurant was concerning. The tables were sticky, the floors appeared dirty, and it seemed like the staff had not taken proper care in maintaining cleanliness. In light of these issues, I am writing to request an explanation and appropriate action to rectify the situation.
