It's hard to top that

Top that...in the sense that it's hard to imagine the service at a restaurant could be any worse. My friends and I ate at The Melting Pot, a fondue restaurant where everything is cooked in front of you in fondue bowls. That is, if the food ever gets to you. We ended up leaving after the appetizer (cheese fondue), which took 90 minutes total. The lady at the front said they were understaffed and that there were a lot of graduation dinners, but that's no excuse. Another diner came out and said that the staff forgot that her party was there for a birthday.

It'd be one thing if the restaurant was completely new, but they've been open for 6 months. All in all, the company was fabulous - I enjoyed seeing most of my close friends from high school for one last big get-together - but boy, they didn't earn even half of the 18% gratuity they charged us for having a large group.
