Ok---so, here's my take on WCC---and I'll probably get flamed for this..but oh well. I've been there several times and the last time I went (a week ago) was it for me. Don't get me wrong, I love the food but I always feel as if I'm competing against my servers other tables for attention. We don't really get into the whole antics of it, but enjoy watching other people do it.
The scene: 7pm on a Monday night and we get seated right on time at a small table next to the fireplace in between the main dining room and the back. We sit ........and sit........and sit......and watch our server clean up the large table next to us for about 10 minutes before he even glances our way. He comes up...dripping with sweat....and doesn't tell us what the margarita of the day is (I had to ask), just says "ok...what are you having". So, we ordered drinks and food all at once. *Side note: we asked for water along with my margarita, DF Lynchburg Lemonade, and DD vanilla milkshake* Drinks came out pretty quickly (except the water portion) and we saw the large round table get seated as well as a couple next to us. Now, this large table has obviously been reading the DIS too many times and has memorized the list of "What you server is supposed to do when dining at WCC" and they start screaming at him all the "Key phrases" to get antics. Well, he ends up at their table for no less than 15 minutes. Meanwhile, the table of two next to us is looking quite irritated because they haven't even been acknowledged yet, my DD5 is screaming for water (she was apparently coming down with strepp, which I didn't find out until 2 days later, and was dying of thirst). We politely remind Mr. Server about the H2O factor and he kind of waves us off. 10 minutes later, someone else delivers our salad, and yet another 5 minutes later he comes out with drinks---for the big table---and NO WATER! Once again, someone else brings out our skillet and he manages to find water for us. We eat----he asks us one time, rather rudely if we want anymore to which I quickly respond "NO"!! At this point, our ADR was for 7pm and it's now going on 8:30 and we are just ready to get the heck out of there. We ask for the bill, get it in about 5 mintues, and wait ----and wait----DO YOU NOTICE A PATTERN? Then the woman sitting at the table next to us that had been there before us leans over and asks "Did you get your bill yet? We've been waiting for 15 minutes" I told her we had and thank our lucky stars we're paying with cash and don't need change! Although, I hate leaving $100 in cash sitting on the table, so the lady next to us has another server go hunt down ours---I really don't know what he could have been possibly doing this entire time! I mean really!!!
Now, I know I know that I shouldn't let one server ruin my experience and vow never to return...but it's been a similar situation every single time. Oh well...I'd rather blow $100 at Artist Point anyways!
