Email maisy.rae@dailymail.com.auA young woman has issued a warning after the owner of a popular restaurant allegedly sent her a late-night text after taking her number from the booking system. Sabrina Renda, 25, was dining with a friend in Melbourne when the owner of the restaurant approached their table. She then showed a picture of the text message she alleges is from the owner. While the late-night message didn't contain any explicit language, Ms Renda said she was left feeling 'deeply unsettled', 'disturbed' and 'violated'. Ms Renda also alleges the restaurant owner took a photo of her without her permission and hugged her after she extended her hand to shake.
