"Yesterday we celebrated a birthday at the restaurant with a party of 10 guests, including two children aged 6 and 9. Unfortunately, after waiting for 1.5 hours, our salads were finally served. I politely asked the waiter to expedite our meals due to the young kids, but he explained that the kitchen only starts preparing the food once the salads are served, giving them half an hour to get everything ready. In the end, we spent a total of 2 hours and 45 minutes for dinner, which we found to be an absurdly long wait. The food itself was delicious, but the excessive wait time was unacceptable."
