I made a reservation, so they were more than aware that my party of 4 would be there at the same time as that party of 11. Perhaps they should have taken more time to say to either me or the other party that we would need to change our times (which I would have had no problem doing). Its great food, just has never been a place to get great service. Sorry, my opinion, but its based on years of going there, and having waitress after waitress frustrated and looking overwhelmed. The food is all that keeps us going. So kudo's to their chef, and hopefully he stays when they retire, cause a little upkeep and maybe some new silverware along with this food could make this place and unbelievable find at the lake. Thanks for your input though, it did bring a different perspective, and yes, many people love the "old" look...

...so I didn't hear the conversation. Never worked in a restaurant, nor would I want to. Too many hassles
. It is not the reservation that counts, though, it is when the order hits the kitchen. Perhaps her tone is one reason for the problem. Admittedly, S.P. is a fast paced restaurant, but have mostly had waitstaff that seemed to handle the pace. Lucky, I guess. Wally, the chef, and his wife Jean are retiring, so it will no be the same chef. Thanks for your comments.
