Olivia's

Called ahead and was told they had no wait for seating. Arrive and half the restaurant is empty but all the tables are dirty. Ask for gluten free menu options and was told "if we choose to order gluten free, it will take longer..." as a celiac I have never had my food at a sit down restaurant take longer, leading me to feel like everything must be precooked? Okay.. fine. We choose to be seated. As we are seated our server comes to the table and "apologizes in advance as the kitchen is very backed up". We asked what that meant and he said "I haven't had a table wait over an hour..." then when I told him I was gluten free he repeated the longer wait speech so I asked "Okay.. what does that exactly??" He said he would confirm with the kitchen. . As he leaves, the table beside us said "I'm sorry, we over heard what he said. We have waited over 2 hours for our food..." we talked a few minutes about how the establishment was so empty until the waiter returned. The waiter then begins to inform us that "If we ordered light the kitchen can get us out in an hour." An hour for soup and salad?? At that point we just left. Will likely never return.

Left when the server told us gluten free food will take longer, and the wait for food was about 2 hours. This was a Saturday with about half full restaurant. When I called to ask for a table for three the hostess did not warn me of a 2 hour wait for food, with or without allergies. sorry to see this place go down hill
