  • What a shame - I've been to Empress Taytu many times in the past. I've never gone on a night when I had somewhere to be. In the past, service has been a bit on the...we'll say "laid back" side but never to the point where it negatively affected my meal. The service has never been especially warm but I get the impression that that's more of a cultural thing. At any rate, I have a tendency to sing the praises of Ethiopian food to anyone who will listen and I'm always excited when I can talk one of my friends into making the drive up from Akron to try it out. On this particular night, which happened to be a friend's birthday, we had plans to attend a concert at the Grog shop. While not especially close to the Empress Taytu, they are both in East Cleveland so I suggested Ethiopian and the two guys I was with were on board. By the time we got there, we had a good hour and a half before we had to be at the Grog Shop. As soon as we walked in the door, we were asked of we had a reservation, which we did not. We were seated relatively quickly. We waited for someone to stop at our table. Another table was seated. We waited some more. A waitress stopped at the other table. We continued to wait. The waitress brought the other table's appetizer. My friends and I a started speculating about how we got passed up. Did they forget about us? Were we in the wrong section? Should we say something? My friend suggested that maybe, because we didn't have a reservation, we were put at the bottom if the queue of tables to help. Maybe. Anyway, I suggested that we give it another 10 minutes and, if they hadn't said anything by then, we should cut and run. 10 minutes went by and still nothing. We got up, put our coats on, and left. I felt guilty about leaving but at this point, we had been there for almost 25 minutes without having anyone talk to us after we had been sat. Any longer and I feared we'd be late for our concert. So we left. Should I have said something? Maybe. Should we have made a reservation. Perhaps. In the restaurant's defense, I had never seen it that busy. Still it put a damper on my impression of an otherwise decent Ethiopian restaurant in Cleveland. The food there is pretty good, even better of you've never eaten Ethiopian food. Just don't go on a Saturday night without a reservation.
