We, as several other couples/groups seated Saturday night also went to the Gretchen Wilson Concert (start time was 8 PM). If we had arrived at, say 6:30 or so you would be right to assume we were in a rush. However, we arrived about 5:30. To elaborate further on our dining experience, I asked our server what the status of our meal was about 25 minutes after placing it. The server informed us the cook(s) was just now beginning to prepare it. It was at this time we were served our salads.
Having been in the food service industry myself, I am aware of the "rushes", rude, annoying customers and the occasional help shortage. However you've got to appreciate our annoyance that particular night, what with people leaving and the appearance of a slow service night. We were not in a rush; we just like our meals served in a timely manner; other factors notwithstanding. Given the circumstances, I couldn't figure out if your 80+ minute visit to Uno's was an annoying to you: it certainly would have to me.

Perhaps our visit that night was just a fluke...
