Literally writing this as I've waited 30 minutes for the waitress to come back so I can ask for my bill and get the hell out of here.
We were the first table here, accompanied by 2 other tables shortly after. Food took a little while, which doesn't bother me, but after the food was dropped off and the side of ranch came 5 minutes later (really?) The waitress was never seen again. I finally had to flag down the hostess to find her for me. What the deal was, I was too annoyed to ask, but I've realized this place is notorious for poor service. I used to love coming here, until they inserted the big bulky booths smack dab in the center of everything.
After today, I'm pretty sure my relationship with Native New Yorker just went from slim to non-existent.
As a waitress, I usually have sympathy and slightly more patience than most, but this place breaks all the customer service rules and THAT is a no no.
