Spock has a new enemy.
“Star Trek” actor Zachary Quinto was blasted by a Toronto restaurant for allegedly mistreating the staff and causing a scene in front of the other customers.
Manita, described as a “mediterranean-ish bistro,” went after Quinto, 47, on Instagram Sunday.
“Zachary Quinto – an amazing Spock, but a terrible customer,” a statement on the restaurant’s Instagram Stories began.
“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. Made our host cry and the rest of our brunch diners uncomfortable.”
“Mr. Quinto, take your bad vibes somewhere else, we have many lovely celebrities join us at Manita but you are NOT one of them,” the business added.
The Post has reached out to Quinto’s rep for comment.
Quinto was in Canada to celebrate his 47th birthday on June 2.
The Pennsylvania native documented his birthday festivities on his Instagram Stories, starting with a photo of a “Happy Birthday” sign on a wall.
He also visited Canada’s Wonderland amusement park. “Thank you for such an incredible birthday adventure @canadaswonderland!!!” he wrote.
In another photo, Quinto sat in front of a lit candle on a dessert inside a restaurant. It’s unclear if the image was taken at Manita.
Quinto rose to fame playing the villain Sylar in the NBC superhero series “Heroes,” which aired from 2006 to 2010.
In 2009, Quinto took over the role of Spock in J.J. Abrams’ “Stark Trek” movie. He reprised the role in the sequels “Stark Trek Into Darkness” in 2013 and “Star Trek Beyond” in 2016.
A fourth “Star Trek” has been in development for years, and Quinto told Forbes in October 2022 that he’d be glad to return.
“I’d love to play the role again and come back together with the team,” he said. “I think we all love each other and we all love working on these stories. I’m confident that it will come together, but I just don’t have the space to consider what that looks like until I know it’s the real thing.”
Quinto further explained that he doesn’t know if “Star Trek 4” will ever actually see the light of day.
“I have no idea if — or when — it will ever come together at this point,” he said. “I think it’s better for everybody’s mental well-being to just trust that a lot’s happening and when the phone rings, and J.J. says, ‘Hey, we’re actually really going to do this,’ then I’ll show up.
“But until then, I have a lot of other stuff going on and a lot of stuff to turn my attention to.”
