2) Get seated, waitress comes eventually and I order a drink and an appetizer. 10 minutes later she comes back and I order dinner (soup to start, and an entree with a side salad). 5 minutes later out comes appetizer and soup (okay fine, I'll eat soup while appetizer cools for a moment). Except that 2 minutes later comes the rest of my meal. So I finish my soup and start on the appetizer as waitress walks up and fails to notice everything basically came at once. At least acknowledge this shouldn't have happened but nothing. She did apologize that my drink still wasn't here - it was being remade.

So I eat part of appetizer and then part of my soup, and start on my now lukewarm entree, and 3) finally over 30 minutes later, and after I am finished eating, I get something to drink - because remaking a margarita really takes 15 minutes.

Guess I should've taken the advice from the hostess and gone to the bar - at another restaurant.
