    Booked a table to have dinner here prior to the Home for the Holidays event. Reservation was for 5:30. Got in and ordered a drink and some food right away. Which was a good call. The restaurant was not especially busy but busy enough to have more than 2 servers. We ran into the same issue last year, very slow service as they only staffed so few servers. We all had reservations so they knew exactly how busy they were going to be. Once the food has been ordered. It took 1.5 hours to arrive. It wasn’t complicated food, it was the soup of the day. The table beside us ordered burgers, and my friend ordered a salad. When asked about the wait for the food, the bartender just said it’s going to take an hour at least. No reason why, the restaurant was not that busy and there were at least 2 people cooking in the kitchen. The hotel that night was also hosting a dinner theatre. My recommendation is you are hosting an event, get event staff. Don’t just have the cooks do both the dinner rush and the dinner theatre event. Or… be honest with the people who took time to book reservations. Hey we are doing a dinner theatre too so the food will be slow…. That way it gives the people dinning a chance to decide if they want to go somewhere else to get food. The slow food was a huge problem. The food was cold when it go to us, the soup practically not edible. The service was lack lustre at best. And the bill was way too high for the food that we did get served. The bill was also not accurate and it took another 5 minutes to fix it. 2 drinks, a soup and a salad - 2 hrs +
