None of this is a big deal at a bar and grill, but it is sort of a big deal when the price of an entrée crosses the $25 mark. Parts of orders were totally forgotten (they realized and apologized near the end of the meal), and there was a weird shortage of menus, regardless of how full or empty the restaurant was.
