"We sat down at 6:05, and there was only one other couple there who were just placing their orders. They ordered a starter and a main course, and we ordered our main course a couple of minutes later. The couple received their starter, enjoyed it, and we expected our main courses to arrive shortly after. However, that didn’t happen! Once their plates were cleared, they were served their main courses while we continued to wait. It wasn't until 6:50 that we finally got our food. I'm confused by this; it felt as though we were being penalized for not ordering a starter. Is this how restaurants typically operate? The meal itself was lovely when it finally arrived, but the overall experience was quite disappointing."
