I can't remember the last time I experienced such terrible service in a restaurant. Waited more than 30 minutes to order drinks and only did that when the waiter was walking by asking, "How are you all doing?" We said we'd be doing better if we had drinks and water.

While the food was fine (nothing spectacular--I had a waffle), it was the terrible service that really makes this restaurant noteworthy. The entire experience was punctuated by our waiter--who was incredibly rude--attempting to rush us through our meal.
