Great food, but fix the service..

I am a long-time fan of this place, been going for years. But something has GOT to be done about the service/kitchen. We went on Friday night and ordered the chicken (told it was going to take 25 minutes, to which we said, fine) and the shrimp enchiladas. The chicken came to the table 20 minutes before the enchiladas! Come on... we also heard the waiter apologize to two other tables as the patrons got up to leave about various issues they'd apparently experienced over dinner, who knows what. To the owner/manager: whether it's the kitchen or the service, fix the problem!

Some Hints:

  • The best reviews give a clear sense of why you liked or disliked a restaurant, bar, or store. And that means details. Mention specifics dishes, type of crowd, pros and cons...
  • If it's helpful to compare one place to another, go for it.
  • Come up with clever, funny, pithy subject lines, and write in the first person.
  • Don't forget to read the user rating guidelines and rules.
