Once he got a few tables that ordered drinks it seemed like he was more interested in taking care of them rather than my table and the table next to me. Ended up waiting about 15 minutes to order dessert and then waited 20 minutes to get my check that I had to ask one of the red coat wait stuff to get. We go here quite often and never had this kind of service.
