We were then moved to a tiny crammed area with lots of other people and a small table. We could only order 2 side plates because there were no room. The cocktail was inedible so we were out in 30 mins. Terrible experience

We had to ask another worker to get our waitress so we could order food, our drinks were empty for extended periods of time with our waitress passing us multiple times, and our waitress didn’t check in to see how the food was. An hour and a half in, our waitress said it was last call and asked if we wanted another drink, so we ordered another round as the email had said to stick to a 2 hour limit. About an hour and 50 minutes into our reservation, another worked came over and informed us that they have a 1.5 hour limit and asked us to move from the table. If it’s a 1.5 hour limit, I don’t understand why the waitress wouldn’t have communicated that to us earlier.
