We had a group (12 people) lunch today at the chophouse. We arrived at 11:30 and were seated immediately. Our server was friendly and took our beverage order immediately.
By noon, we placed all of our food order.
By 12:45 our food still had not arrived, not even the bread and butter, nor our appetizers. Our lunch organizer talked to the manager about the wait. The manager apologized and showed up some bread immediately.
By 1:00, our appetizers started to show up. I ordered the beef tenderloin carpaccio with fried capers. Unfortunately, the carpaccio didn't have much favor.
By 1:20, none of our entree had shown up. By looking around, there were several bigger tables still had no food and they are sat down the same time as us.
I end up had to leave without my seafood fettucini because I had a meeting. My coworkers were kind enough to pack my fettucini for me and bring it back to the office.
The fettucini was lukewarm by the time it was brought back, But I quite enjoyed the sauce with a lot of garlic in it. The shrimp was done right while I suspect the scallop would be pretty good if it was fresh.
It is a shame that I can't enjoy the food fresh and it took unreasonably long for the food to be served. Will I go back one more time? Probably yes. I hope you have better luck than us
