text: Please do not bother If you are an employee of the Veranda Restaurant I would seriously consider finding another position The owners clearly do not respect you otherwise they would not have put you in the position they did for Mothers Day nEven though we had reservations we waited for an hour for our food to arrive Our server who by the end of the experience was close to tears was attempting to work rooms singlehandedly One room had large parties and the smaller room had tables I saw two tables leave our room before any food arrived Our food arrived before one of the tables that left who already had their drinks when we were seated nWhen the food finally arrived it was cold How can you serve cold Eggs Benedict You clearly do not value your patrons any more than you do your servers If you are not staffed to handle a rush on a busy weekend do not take any more reservations If your kitchen is in the weeds and cannot keep up make sure you are walking the room apologizing informing and perhaps even offering free drinks A free drink would be a small price to pay in order to try and hang onto a customer in such circumstances During the wait for our food no one bothered to checkin or apologize Our server certainly could notshe was way to overworked to carenThe final insult was that the server brought our check back to the table without running the card I took the check to the host stand and the host rolled her eyes when I explained the situation Initially she did not even volunteer to run the check herself I had to ask her specifically to do that
