In my many years of dining out, I have always appreciated a waiter or waitress letting me know if there was one or more large parties in the restaurant. It tells me that if my table of 4's order goes into the kitchen after the 11 person table, my meal is going to take longer to come out. Kitchens are handling the orders on a first come, first serve basis. If your table of 4 order goes in after a table of 11 and a table of 9 or 10, you will have some extra time to spend in the dated surroundings.

Fear not...this is the Damon's last year running the Restaurant and if the Resort owners find someone to take over the Restaurant, they may agree on an update to the premises. Personally, I will miss the Damons, their food, and the decor.

Sorry you had a bad experience. I do hope you understand the other side of the coin. Hope the rest of your dining experiences are better for you.

I agree. Her comment about the large party probably had less to do with the tip and more of a heads up that your meal would be taking a little longer to come out of the kitchen.
