There were problems with the kitchen that caused major delays for the entire restaurant, which was acknowledged by staff that came around to every table to apologize. It wasnt our server's fault, and he was great. Once we got our food, it was lukewarm (which isn't the best for egg dishes), but they were obviously in the weeds and it was still edible although I can't say enjoyable. We did tell our server after the fact. There was no offer to comp anything we ordered or offer for complimentary dessert or even our coffee. Despite all this, I didn't get miffed til I saw they did auto-gratuity for our party of three (insulting) and tacked on 3% for credit card processing. Processing credit cards is the cost of doing business. Restaurants have been using their customers to subsidize the cruddy wages they pay their staff for years, and this is just a new way to stick the customers with what should be their cost.

Our server was great, the food was delicious, but the restaurant is very loud and the entire staff and kitchen were clearly extremely overwhelmed for the Easter holiday. It took about twice as long as normal to get our food and it was clear all the servers were extremely stressed by how crowded it was.
