I had higher expectations of L.A. Pete's but I need to explain why I chose 3 stars.
We arrived and there were 2 other couples ahead of us waiting to be seated so we anticipated a small wait.
It ended up being a 12 minute wait and they didn't seem all that busy including an entire section that appeared to be open.
Ordered our food and it took about 20 minutes to receive. A little long but by this time, they seemed to be getting busier.
I judge heavy on my drinks being filled and once it reaches half-way, I expect it to be filled again. Our waitress didn't come back to check on us at any time until we were done eating so both of our drinks went completely empty for several minutes.
Furthermore of a frustrating thing, a couple tables away, our waitress was laughing and joking with an older couple who may have been regulars but didn't give us the 1 minute of time we needed.
The food was great but the service definitely needed improvement.
