I visited Casa Layla with a party of three. We were one of two tables and the second of those to arrive. After placing our orders, we waited 40 minutes before asking the waiter about our food.
He informed us that they were understaffed, so the kitchen hadn't even begun to prepare our food. We would have to wait another 20 minutes.
I found this to be quite inconsiderate/discourteous. Everyone's time is important, and I feel that it is a restaurant's responsibility to inform the customer when a wait is expected to be unusually long. I told the waiter that we didn't have the time since we had to return to work, and we left without eating.
We've heard good things about Casa Layla and would be willing to give them another chance. I fully intend to amend my review should the next visit meet our standards, however I cannot recommend this restaurant at this point in time.
TL;DR - Waited 40 minutes for food, told that our order hadn't even been started, left hungry and bitter.
