I went w/a group of friends as a party of 6 on Mon 8/22. Our reservations were for 7pm that night, we were seated promptly but didn't manage to leave until a little after 10 pm. After ordering our appetizers things seemed to slowly go downhill. The appetizers showed up on time and were very good. I had the caesar salad which was perfect. After finishing our appetizers we waited, and waited and then waited some more for our main meal. We started to notice other tables that had been seated after us get their meals and in a few cases even leave. All while we still waited. A young lady who was very nice and apologetic came by and offered to comp our first round of drinks. I appreciated that but still our food never came until much later. The waiter came by a couple of times and he also apologized but never really said what happened. When we asked him what was wrong he never really said, just sort of brushed it off. I would've certainly been understanding if he'd even said he'd forgotten to put the order in or that the kitchen was just backed up. It was busy that night but no more so than other times I'd been there.
Eventually our food did show up and my steak was fine. A couple of the burgers my friends ordered were overcooked and some of the other meals were a little cold. Had the impression that they'd been sitting around a while before they were brought to our table. Basically the only meal that was any good was my steak so I lucked out. The waiter did remove one of the burgers off the bill.
When we were settling up we saw our first round of drinks were still there on the bill. The waiter did remove them but the whole experience that night was really just odd. I don't know if the waiter was new or what but it certainly wasn't typical of my past experiences.
