All Bar One, Oxford

Walked out if there lunchtime today, without paying for starter.
They took 15mins to bring starter, and another 10 to bring cutlery. After a further 25 mins we enquired about our mains, and were told they would be another 25 mins because restaurant was busy.
We pointed out that when we arrived only two tables were taken, so after waiter enquired again, estimate was reduced to 10mins.
Food didn't arrive, so we told waiter we were leaving and weren't prepared to pay for starter (it was only bread and houmus).
AIBU to think that if restaurants can't cope with the number if people they allow in, then they should reduce the number if tables? "I'm sorry we're busy" isn't an excuse - it was lunchtime. They must have the same number if people every lunchtime.

Another slightly-out-of-the-way suggestion, but worth it is the WOCA care at the community centre about a 5 minute walk down the Botley Rd past the train station. Really really good value, all home cooked and great cakes. Don't know why I'm telling you lot really, it's Botley's little secret!

I like WOCA too! I used to work with Ailsa :) shame it's so small though.
