We went there mid week for lunch. We were told by the hostess that it was a 45 minute wait for a table -fine. We were seating just about at 45 minutes. We sat at our table for about 10 minutes, before the clearly flustered waitress came over and apologized saying that she'd be with us soon but had to run off. It was clear that the restaurant was understaffed. They were only seating a few tables and from what we could see our poor waitress was the only one. After another 10 minutes she came back, apologized again but took our entire order. We ordered a few apps and a lunch dish each. Three of us ordered specialty martinis. After finishing taking the order the waitress informed us that she would be back soon but that she did not have a bartender either so she had to make all the drinks. The poor thing was so over worked and not getting any help. The lack of help from the hostess was disgusting. All she did was stand at the front and tell people how long it was. She never cleared a table or helped run food. It was embarrassing and we felt bad for the waitress. Our appetizers came out in a decent amount of time, drinks were okay but missing the sugared rims advertised but I was not about to add to the poor waitresses workload. We all also had waters and she kept them full which is a plus on a hot day. After finishing our apps, we waited over 40 minutes for our lunches, simply too long. The waitress apologized to us twice, blaming the kitchen. Fine, we get it, it's hard to find help right now in the pandemic. However, we were sat at 1:15pm for lunch and it was now 3pm. When our lunches finally came we asked for the check, wanting to eat and run. The food is mediocre standard fare. We gave our poor waitress a huge tip, she was working so hard with all the tables in the place, an overworked kitchen and a hostess who never helped her. I hope that she does not have to share her tips with her! I've seen this hostess here before for years so I know she's either management or owner and she should be ashamed. Overall, we asked for a table at 12:30pm, sat at 1:15pm and didn't eat until 3pm and left at 3:30pm. 3 hours for a mediocre lunch is awful. The hostess should be telling people that it's a 45 minute wait but then getting your meals will also take a while.
