We make frequent trips to Deltaville to fish and relax but a major drawback about the small town is that there are hundreds and hundreds of residents and visitors and only three restaurants. And often 1 or 2 of those three will be closed on a given day. We ran into that familiar problem last weekend when there was a one hour wait at the Deltaville Raw and Oyster Bar and cars were piled up like a scrapyard at The Galley. We tried The Table as a last resort, but prior reservations had occupied all their available seatings for the evening. Oh well, there’s always Chinese I thought, but my brilliant daughter, Laura, had a better idea.
Laura asked the waitress if the kitchen could accept any more “To Go” orders. She checked and said they could take one more. Laura then asked each one of us what we wanted to eat, gave the order to the waitress and in about 25 minutes the kitchen delivered. It happened that The Table had a large waiting room with a large table, so we spread our food and ate there, so our meal wouldn’t get cold on the long drive back to our cottage.
It was perfect, which just goes to show you that there is more than one way to skin a cat or to eat at a busy restaurant.
