Went to Gators for lunch today during the craft fair at LSL. We were told that it would be about 15 minutes, which we could live with. We went to the bar to have a drink while we waited. We sat there for about 25 minutes and looked at 9 tables within our sight that were empty. I should say there were no customers at these tables. The tableware and food had never been cleared. Some waitresses were standing around doing nothing. At one point the bartender went and cleared a table. One patron complained to the bartender that his group had been sitting there for quite a while and had not yet seen their waitperson. We finally got sick of waiting and told the hostess of our decision to leave. She said that they didn't have any bus boys. I was never that crazy for Gators, but it sure sounds like and looked like a restaurant about to close. We went down the street to Up The Creek and had a wonderful lunch with in a clean, professional restaurant with an excellent waitress.
