Our family arrived 15 minutes early for this reservation and we were told they were running about 30 minutes behind. After 30 minutes went by, we checked in with the hostess who said we should be seated shortly there after. Around 9pm we were finally seated at our table. We were greeted by the waitress who told us the kitchen was behind by at least an hour. The hostess never mentioned this once to us after checking on the time twice. We ended up canceling our drinks/dinner because we would not have been able to eat until past 10 at night. If communication was clear from the beginning about how far behind the kitchen was, we would not have wasted over an hour of our vacation at this restaurant.
