food timing in local restaurants

We dined out last night at a popular place in Meredith and I have to say I was a little disappointed with the "timing" of everything. We were about half way through our salads when our entrees arrived. I said to the server we hadn't even finished our salads and she told me when the food comes up they have to take it (which I understand). It was not the relaxing dinner I was looking forward to at all, it was rush rush rush, get 'em in, get 'em fed, get 'em out!! I'm not mentioning the restaurant's name because we've experienced this in other lake region restaurants as well. Has this happened to anyone else and what do you do about it?? Perhaps some local restaurant owners/managers can comment? BTW food was good and this was not a diner/pub type restaurant, what I would consider a higher end restaurant. Thanks!
