Zachary Quinto Banned From Restaurant Over Alleged Behavior

Zachary Quinto has allegedly been banned from a restaurant in Toronto for being a "terrible customer."

The Heroes and Star Trek actor, who just turned 47, posted details of a recent birthday trip to Canada on his Instagram. Alas, it appears that not all of the vacation was a wonderland.

A Toronto restaurant named Manita took to their Instagram story to write, "Zachary Quinto - an amazing Spock, but a terrible customer."

"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," the restaurant continued.

"Made our host cry and the rest of our brunch diners uncomfortable," the restaurant further alleged. "Mr. Quinto, take your bad vibes somewhere else, we have many lovely celebrities join us at Manita but you are NOT one of them."

In a follow-up post, they continued, "This isn’t the first time, nor will it be the last time an irate guest has taken their frustrations out on our staff. Manita is deeply grateful for our mostly incredible, friendly, gracious guests … who may give us constructive feedback from time to time. 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."

Zachary isn't the only celebrity to have allegedly irritated restaurant staff — James Corden was briefly banned from New York restaurant Balthazar after restaurateur Keith McNally called him "a tiny Cretin of a man" who was "the most abusive customer to my Balthazar servers since the restaurant opened 25 years ago." James later denied being abusive and said that the misunderstanding happened due to his wife's "serious food allergy" not being respected.

BuzzFeed has reached out to representatives for Zachary for comment.
