Her perspective: C

I went here for lunch with a friend from work. We get an hour for lunch. We put our name on the list and were told that it would be a 5 minute wait. We ended up waiting 15 minutes. Once we got seated, it took a while to be greeted. When our server came, he went and got our drinks before we could tell him that we were ready. It didn't seem to cross his mind at all that we were on a time crunch. It took almost a half hour for us to get our food. When my friend asked our server where our food was, he replied that it was in the kitchen somewhere. Great answer, but it didn't help us get back to work any faster. He chatted with us for a few minutes, was very friendly with lots of personality and we ended up getting our food about 5 minutes later. We had to eat quickly and my friend ended up boxing up half of her burger. The food tasted good, but we weren't really able to enjoy it, so that was disappointing. I ate most of my chicken sandwich, because we were waiting to flag someone down so we could get a box. We ended up being 15 minutes late back to work. Not that it was a huge deal, but I had to make up that time by cutting my lunch break short another day.

Any restaurant that is downtown should be aware that most people get an hour for lunch and not everyone's employer is as flexible as ours.
