"A pretty horrible experience, overall. It was a Sunday night. We had 5:15 reservations for a nearby show that was to begin at 7:30. There were six of us. With less than a 10 minute drive to the theater we were confident we were giving ourselves plenty of time to get to the show, with a few minutes to spare. We arrived on time and our server came and took our drinks order at 5:30. But it was close to 6 o'clock before she returned to take our our order for dinner. At about 6:40 five of our six meals arrived. (With explanation for the missing entree, offered. Given the pinch of time, those who had their meals began eating. Meanwhile, the sixth person waited. And waited. Shortly after 7:00 the sixth meal arrived. (It was later explained that kitchen mistook the butternut squash dinner entrée that had been ordered was mistaken for soup. . The meal was immediately transferred to a to go container so that we could then leave to get to our show. But for added fun it was clear that a request involving a different meal no Gorgonzola cheese, please had been incorrectly applied to the long delayed meal. Which meant that the entree was little more than spaghetti in a bowl. To be fair, it was clear that the restaurant was very busy and seemingly very understaffed. From what we could tell, our server was tending to every table in our dining area, so she was clearly working hard, but nevertheless remained quite pleasant. But evidently the management of the restaurant, seeing that they were clearly understaffed, opted not to adjust the amount of tables she was serving that evening. Which proved unfair to everybody. Including our group of six that got to our show late with one person having to buy a pretzel at the show for dinner."
