We had been to this restaurant a few times and liked the food, thus when we had an out-of-town guest here we decided to dine there. We arrived about a quarter to six and did not recognize the hostess or the waitresses from previous visits as we had in the past, this turned out to be a real problem for us. After telling her we preferred a table rather than the counter, we were told it would be a few minutes. After greeting our neighbors that happened to also dine there, we sat down on those horribly uncomfortable benches. More people arrived and some apparently were offered beverages while waiting, we never were. A large group came in and was almost immediately seated in the overflow room. When we asked about our turn to be seated since about everyone else was by now, we were told it would be soon. After more than 45 minutes total wait we gave up and left after telling the hostess and the manager . They told us they would open the overflow room that by now had two large tables fully occupied already. To sum it up: unless you know the staff you will not be treated like a guest at this place, left unattended on uncomfortable benches and left to wonder whether you will ever be fed..
