My order was taken and water on my table by 8:15am. This is where this turned from a great experience to a bad one. \n\nI know that this is a relatively small eatery. It's a mom and pop type business. The pancakes were good-- a tad too chocolatety... More so than I remember, but I could have just been in a bad mood after waiting 1/2 hour for pancakes. Are you kidding me? I'm a solo diner. I watch full stacks brought out to the table to the right of me and short stacks to my left--literally. If it didn't take me 1/2 hour to get there, I would have left. Finally, my waitress notices \"Hmmm... I think she probably came here to eat\" and asked the kitchen where my food was. They start to argue about if it was put in or not. I'm thinking, \"Hey, I'm sitting right next to you guys. Can you be more discrete?\" So they start making the pancakes. Do I get an apology, an explanation, a \"are you still doing alright\", \"your food will be out in a bit\", or at least some water in my empty glass? You guessed it... No! That was the insulting part.\n\nLook, I eat out a lot. I do probably more than I should. I know that things happen and mistakes are made. That's absolutely fine. There will be some human error. What is not acceptable is keeping the patron in the dark-- especially if I can hear the whole he said/she said conversation... This right here is where restaurants are defined, and this place failed miserably. To add insult to injury, they put the check on my table literally 3 minutes after I got my food. I eat fast but really? Again, really? You've got to be kidding me. \n\nI WILL NEVER EAT AT THIS PLACE AGAIN! They need to hire someone to teach them how to run front of house or at least get some manners."^^ . .
