It's the classic tale of a Yelper's screed: When one Kansas City restaurant wouldn't break their take-out order rules for a guest, the diner took to Yelp to complain. The tale does not, however, end as most do: Voltaire restaurant's ownership didn't just sit back and take the abuse. They fired off a sassy response of their own.

A Yelper, known simply as Sonal B, got upset after Voltaire would not allow her to place a to-go order for her and her husband — who were at business meeting across the street. Sonal B's "lawyer" husband eventually got involved, and insisted upon emphasizing that he was indeed a "lawyer," perhaps assuming that would affect the situation.

According to Sonal B, her husband told the manager that he was going to "post a Yelp review about the way the restaurant" was treating them — the ultimate threat — to which the manager hilariously replied: "Are you a grown man and an adult?" Sonal B goes on to expound upon how well-traveled she is: She has been to New York and, according to her, restaurants in NYC would have sold her take-out. A representative for Voltaire followed Sonal B's complaint with epic response, taking down literally every insult that was hurled. Moral of the story: If you want take-out go to McDonald's, not Voltaire. Go, read the Yelp review and response in full below:

The one-star Yelp Review:

Most unfriendly and arrogant restaurant in KC. Just called Voltaire to try to order some food because we're in a late business meeting across the street. First, they refused to answer our question about what type of broth is used in the risotto. Then they said they won't pack food to go. My husband spoke to the manager and explained that we're in a conference room across the street, and asked if they can pack our dinner (which we would pick up). The hostess flat-out refused to answer our question about the food or to try and work with us so we could get food in our meeting. My husband asked to speak with the manager. The manager, Jamie, said, "our food is plated beautifully, and we can't put it in a 'to go' container." So thanks, Jamie, we'll just starve. (What the manager said is just not true by the way--we've eaten there before, and they did pack our food to go.) When my husband said that he was going to post a Yelp review about the way the restaurant was treating us, the manager questioned, "Are you a grown man and an adult?" Yes, Jamie, we are grown adults, and we do not do business with people who behave like you do. We regularly travel to NYC and eat at a variety of restaurants, which are more than happy to accommodate people by packing food to go. This restaurant thinks they're too good for their customers. They will soon learn that if you ignore your customers, they're going to start ignoring you. I would not even give this place one star after this experience, and I'm dismayed by their unprofessional and arrogant behavior.
