Had the strangest thing happen to us last night. We arrived around 7pm and the place was absolutely packed. Got a booth right away and the server came and took our drink orders and they arrived right away. She then said I'll be back in a min to take your orders, and she did. By this time, it was 7:15 at the latest. Meanwhile, the place started to really empty out and we watched new people arrive and get their drinks right away. We suddenly realized that it was 7:50 and we didn't have our food and all the new arrivals had their food already. I called over to the server and asked if she could check, she gave me a hi sign. A little while later, another server came over and asked if anyone took our order, my guest said he forgot what he ordered and I told her that yes the server was checking on it and it had been about 50 min. Back comes my original server and she gave us a very apologetic explanation that she had forgotten to turn in our order but it was coming up momentarily. 20 mins later, still no food and she had just walked out from the kitchen area with more drinks for people and no food. We were just shocked, and finally left without paying for our drinks. My partner had a headache and I was stunned. I have been there numerous times and never had this problem. Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem at that restaurant lately. I know they've been advertising for new servers so maybe that was the problem?? I hope this doesn't become a pattern for them. I really like that place.
