The dining room was not crowded and the restaurant was relatively quiet. However, we waited almost an hour and a half for our food that never came. Our server was nice and it wasn't her fault, but after an hour and a half, we were told that our food would be another 20 minutes because they had not even started our order yet. No other tables had been served. We decided to leave and had to pay for our drinks. It would have been nice for them to at least comp us for our time there. Unfortunately, when we left, every other restaurant was either too busy or closed, so we had to go to a grocery store to get something to eat. Not exactly how we imagined our first anniversary dinner. I understand that the regular chef was absent, but it would have been nice to be warned that the service was really slow and not have to pay for our drinks.
