| - I used to love Cora's, and was worth waiting and lining up for. The service used to be pleasant, and the staff was very attentive.
Fast forward to now, the food is still good, but the service was just horrible.
The hostess was busy cleaning tables herself when we arrived, so it took a while to be seated. Once we sat down, the waiter (Kenneth, I think) was incredibly friendly, to the point where I noticed and asked him what made him so cheerful! He said he just loves the job -- very promising!
We ordered our food, and we sat and sat and sat for about 40 mins. Upon looking at the kitchen, there was food lined up under the heat lamps but no one was being served. I called Kenneth asking why it wasn't being served. His response was that there was a chef there that demanded perfection, and that unless the food was perfect, no customer should be served. Looking around the restaurant, no customer was being served!
I complained and asked for the owner, she got my food to the table 5 minutes later, while everyone else still waited.
The downside to this whole experience was that no one was being served, customers were irritated, the cash register was empty (as the girl/owner was busy serving and cleaning tables), which meant that no one could pay/get the bill, which meant no one was leaving, which meant that new customers were not able to get seated.
It's as if everything was at a standstill.
Worst of all, our waiter Kenneth disappeared, and lo and behold, he was working in the kitchen cooking food!!! REALLY??
I was very disappointed, and sadly will not be going there again.
