i hardly write bad reviews.  just not my style i guess... but i just cannot get over our experience at raffles cafe.\n\nfive of us went down to raffles for breakfast friday morning.  the restaurant was not busy, so tell me... why did breakfast take an hour and 45 minutes?\n\ntime it took to get seated (and awkwardly shuffled around to different waiting areas by the hostess): 10 minutes.\n\ntime it took for us to get acknowledged by someone: 15 minutes.\n\ntime it took for that someone to get our waters: 10 minutes.\n\ntime it took for our actual server to come and take our orders after we got our waters: 10 minutes.\n\ntime it took for our food - all breakfast... EGGS, for god's sake - to come after we ordered: 45 minutes.  45 f-ing minutes!\n\ntime it took for us to eat of our mediocre, lukewarm, barely a step above denny's food:  5 minutes.  we were starving.  yet, that didnt make the food taste any better.\n\ntime it took for us to get our bill: 10 minutes.\n\n= 1 hour, 45 minutes.\n\nridiculous.
