"Long an advance, a reservation was made for 17 people. When we got there the table had not been prepared for this large a group. We found that management had put but one waitress on duty for the entire evening to handle this very large table, about nine other tables that handled up to 4, and 100 of all the bar traffic. Far too much for one woman to handle. Our reservations were made for 5:30 pm and no other patrons we're in the restaurant when we arrived. Obviously, the waitress was overwhelmed. Notwithstanding, we were all seated by 5:45 pm. The lovely waitress calmly took all of our orders as we all ask for Separate Checks according to couples. It doesn't take much to understand that was 17 orders, the chef was overwhelmed as well but all of the orders were delivered together. Again, only the one waitress did the serving while she was running back and forth to get orders from other tables and service the three men who were healthy drinkers sitting at the bar. Our meals took over 30 minutes to be delivered. After we finished, the waitress cleared the table of all the used plates and took all of them back to the kitchen, then started separating all of the checks. Unfortunately only two of 9 checks were correct and then the Fiasco started. Exactly one hour and 15 minutes later, all of us decided that our checks were correct and the unflustered waitress collected them and charged them out to us. By this time we were happy to leave but felt very sorry for this sweet waitress who ran the entire restaurant all by herself. In this case, the waitress cannot take any of the blame. This is all management fault for even taking the reservation but then sticking one person to handle an entire restaurant is just Unforgivable. Although the food was very good, I would warn everyone to stay away from this place unless one checked to see how many waitresses are on duty and how full the restaurant is."
