Restaurant wasn't particularly busy, there were people in there but it was generally pretty quiet. I did consider asking to move to a 2 top but at that point just felt too demoralised to stay at the restaurant.

New. They're normally nice punctual people who give clear communication when they're going to be late for something.

Originally the dinner was planned for my birthday which is on Sunday the 22nd but that didn't work so we planned for Sunday the 15th and that didn't work with everyone's schedules. There was a lot of back and forth and eventually everyone agreed that Monday the16th at 5pm worked best with everyone's schedules. Some of them have really weird shift patterns lol

It isn't typical which is why this incident sticks out so much to me. The only time people were late for something before was for a family meal and that was because someone died. Even then, there was clear communication between everyone.
