NY DELI

What a beautiful day to walk to local shops and restaurants, only it didn't go so well. Stopped back in on my way back from the grocery store to the NY Deli on A1A and the Galt Mile, because it was busy on my first pass. Came in, sat down, was not busy, and plenty of wait staff. NO one came by at least for drinks or to take my order within the first 20 minutes. Other tables came in about 10 minutes after I did. There were plenty of wait staff walking around, and one actually asked me if anyone came by, which I said no and that was the end of that. Another 5 minutes, and I was getting up to leave when a guy strolled over to ask for drinks and without a menu in hand, so I just said I'm ready to order. Order placed and water finally came to my table. A very simple order, nothing fancy. Still sitting, didn't bring silverware or napkins, nor did he wipe the table from the previous customer, wasn't horrible, but would have been nice. Sat and amused myself for the next 25 minutes, having surrounding tables shaking their heads as we all saw others coming in after me in the restaurant, and received their food. Finally I had enough, and got up and left, no food and still hungry. I wasn't going to let this ruin my day, because of a waiter that just didn't give a damn. Ended up stopping by McDonalds for egg burrito. Satisfied and just sharing this. Maybe they'll get the message and stay on top of things. I'm a year round resident, and they're NOT busy during off season. It's managements fault or lack of a manager for not paying attention to the customers!
