Last night in celebration of my wife passing her State test to become an RN we went out to dinner to the local Applebees.
It was a party of 6, my wife and I, my parents, my sister and her fiancee.
The place was dead. No wait for a table, and I'd say a good 1/3 of the restaurant was dead.
My parents were late arriving, so I wasn't surprised that no one came right away for a drink order.
Waiter finally came, took drink order, etc.
The Waiter was a little slow the whole night, and seemed forgetful, but I can't really complain too much about him.
After our apps came, we waited a while for the food, but it didn't seem like an eternity.
The food starts to come out and it's mine, and my sister's fiancee. They brought my wife's too, but it was the wrong thing. Food runner apologized, said he'd be right back with the rest.
And we waited, and waited, and waited.
A good 15 minutes go by and the waiter comes by apologizing profusely, and with everyone's food except my sister's.
Soon after a manager comes over, she's still wearing her coat, tells us she just got in and got the rundown. Something is wrong in the kitchen, and they've comped all of our food. All we're paying for is drinks. And my sister's steak will be right out.
Sure enough her steak comes out, medium rare (she ordered medium well), and her baked potato isn't. It's a luke warm potato that's hard as a rock.
She didn't want to wait anymore so I told the waiter, but my sister said "just forget it" and she ate the other half of my mom's steak.
The manager made up for it, but man what the hell was with that kitchen? It wasn't just us though. The table next to us had similar problems, including a chicken dish being brought to the table without chicken.
