We celebrated our 28th anniversary and had a great time. This is our "go-to" place for special occasions. Our server, Anna, was very attentive and accommodating. My wife's menu choices were all delicious and pleasing to her. I ordered the deep fried catfish. It was perfectly cooked and more than scrumptious!!! We enjoyed a nice meal and were treated to a dessert to top off our anniversary meal. We will definitely be back. read more

Parkway Grill - A happy customer with a deep fried catfish. - New American Near Me - Pasadena, California

I ate here over 20 years ago, but this review is based on my recent visit for my wife's birthday. My family and I came here to celebrate this occasion. The inside of this restaurant has not changed that much. It's still has a classic feel as opposed to the more modern feel restaurants. We began our evening with the Hamachi crudo and crab cake appetizers. The Hamachi crudo is so light, tangy and refreshing. The crab cake texture was nice and crunchy but I was not a particular fan of the sauce as it muddied the flavor of the crab cake for me. For dinner, I chose the Halibut special which was cooked to perfection. I enjoyed the taste of this and thought the spread that accompanied it worked well. My family also enjoyed the 40 dry aged NY steak and whole Branzino. For dessert, we shared the Crème Brule Napoléon and were treated to the chocolate lava cake for my wife's birthday. Overall, we enjoyed our experience and the meal. read more

OYSTERS & OLD FASHIONS The ambiance and lighting here is nice, you feel transported to a classy steakhouse in Chicago. Our server was attentive and always came back to refill our drinks. Prices very reasonable for an upscale restaurant. Oysters were fresh and delicious! Hamachi Crudo appetizer too! Short rib dinner, scallops and their pepperoni pizza also very tasty. Dessert get their crème brulee napolean its sooooo good! Crispy flakey pastry puffs with the creamy cold napolean. We couldn't find a sitter and had to drag our double stroller with our two kids. Thankfully they were sleeping and the staff were kind and allowed us to park it at our table lol. I'll be back again! read more

Parkway Grill it's a great go to place for steaks another great food items. The restaurant itself is a decent size but it's not huge. There is a main dining area there's also an elevated area that's on the outside. There's also an outdoor air show area for larger parties. Overall the food is very good here. I've been here a couple times now. The scallops are very good, I ordered the ribeye last time and it was cooked to perfection. As for side dishes we got the scalloped potatoes and the grilled broccolini. Their pizzas are really spot on as well here so that's a great alternative on the menu. Reservations are always recommended and you should be able to find whatever platform they're on at the time. It's also probably a lot easier to valet your car here too since parking on Arroyo can be tough.. And about the valet attendants are amazing since the lot can get filled out fairly quickly they are able to work magic and shuffle the cars around. There is also street parking on the side streets and you may get lucky if you find a spot there. read more

I had so much fun here with my family. Everyone here was really accommodating. They helped me with a family friends wheelchair and even set us up at a table that's easier for us to move around at. My fav dishes from the night : Lamp lollipop: crispy goat cheese polenta croquettes, pine nut fig relish, pomegranate mint syrup- my mom's favorite dish and she normally doesn't really like lamb. Ahi Tuna Tartar-hass avocado, fresno peppers, fresh ginger, cilantro and pickled shimeji vinaigrette, housemade black rice crackers- THIS right here. I ate all by myself and did not want to share. It was soooooo good. All the flavors blended in perfectly with each other. I wanted to order another but didn't want to overdo it. Roasted Marys chicken :goat cheese mashed potatoes, figs, lemon butter - I typically don't order chicken at restaurants but I've been feeling a little bit tired of red meat, so went ahead with my chicken dish. Honestly, I was surprised by how good this was chicken was nicely flavored it didn't taste totally bland and boring. The table next to us ordered the fried catfish and I so regret not ordering this. Presentation was A+. Will def order next time. read more

Service was hit and miss. Seated on time with reservation. Hostess didn't seat us with menus and we asked the waiter for them when he served us water (he was prompt). Took a beat for the server to come and we had to ask her for today's specials. She was nice at the end and took a photo for us and brought a complimentary birthday dessert. The salad special of the day was burrata and arugula with mandarin oranges. Very yummy Ahi tuna tartare - good tuna Crab cakes - also very good Bread basket - not complimentary. Ordered the small basket. I wish the bread came warm, especially the corn bread. Grilled duck breast - duck was cooked medium as requested. Sauce was on the sweet side. Not as good as I wanted it to be Lobster mashed potatoes - so creamy and delicious, but only tiny pieces of lobster that I didn't even taste Cauliflower - nothing special but still a good side I tried a bit of the polenta and branzino. Both were very good. read more

Dimly lit steakhouse with wooden old school vibes. Snagged a table last minute on a Friday evening without a wait. Ordered the following: Lime and basil martini - too sweet for my liking. Had I known it was made with syrup, I would've ordered something else. Half a dozen oysters - was good. Nobody told us what kind of oysters they were. Caesar salad - standard and refreshing. Two pieces of anchovies Ribeye cap split in half with two sides - very good! Cooked as requested and server offered to have it cut in half as we shared. Shoestring fries - standard fries. Could have been fried a bit longer but still very good. Lobster risotto - buttery, smooth, with tiny pieces of lobster. Wish there was more lobster for the price point. Overall a good meal, left with a full belly and a smile on our faces. read more

I usually go to Arroyo Chop House but my friend wanted to dine at Parkway Grill for her birthday. We had a 5:00 reservation and arrived a little early. There were two other women in front waiting for their table when another woman walked into the restaurant and asked if she needed to give her name to be seated. Instead of letting the woman know that others were waiting, the hostess asked her to give her a second and then seated her and her party. The two woman ahead of us mentioned to another hostess that my friend and I were also there waiting for our table. The hostess then called for those with a 5:00 reservation. I looked at her and asked if the reservation she was calling for was under my name and she said it was. Why wouldn't she just call my name instead of calling for 5:00 reservations? Not a good start to the evening and the hostess staff could use some training. Fortunately, our server, Kaylee more than made up for the poor impression made by the hostesses. Kaylee was friendly, attentive, and full of great suggestions. The tuna tartare and clam chowder were the highlights of the dinner and my friend said it was the best whiskey sour she'd ever had. The braised short ribs were very tender but could use more seasoning. Overall, it was a good night because of the company and Kaylee, but I'm not rushing to go back to Parkway Grill and will stick with Arroyo Chop House. read more

Went as a guest to the Parkway Grill for the first time in several years. Let's start at the beginning. First of all the restaurant is very expensive. So you should expect the best. I had to wait 15 minutes for the waiter to offer me a beverage. My host had arrived before us so he had been served a drink and there was no followup. Now on to the food. I started out with a watermelon and tomato salad. The watermelon was great but the tomatoes were tasteless and not fully ripe. I also tried one of my friends oysters which were a little off. I had the filet for dinner and sent it back for more fire. No problem I thought. When it came back perfectly cooked someone had put a teriyaki type sauce on it. Yuch. I didn't say anything as I was a guest. The snow peas were great and the mashed potatoes were just OK. From now on I will stick to the Arroyo Chop House across the alley. read more

Parkway Grill in Pasadena is such a wonderful restaurant and I have been dining here many times over the years, usually for special occasions. Last night did not disappoint as the room was appropriately decorated for the holidays which added to the always delightful ambiance. Beginning with valet parking (I know this is a minor detail... but one attendant opens the driver's side door while a different attendant opens the passenger side.) Just a nice touch. From the warm greeting by the host who brings you to your table to the servers and food runners, everything is perfectly choreographed. We each had specialty cocktails (the Herradura Margarita served up is especially good) as well as the variety bread basket definitely worth the upcharge. Followed with a Parkway Caesar with white Tuscan anchovies (one order split), a Saturday special Linguine pasta with steak, button mushrooms and sun-dried tomatoes, scallops with lobster crusted potatoes, a glass of Rose and a glass of Riesling, Creme Brulee Napoleon with Phyllo squares filled with vanilla bean custard over a caramel sauce and some French Press coffee with the dessert. Everything was wonderful. And my good friend who had never been here before, really enjoyed celebrating his 24th birthday at Parkway Grill. read more

Excellent 5 star service. Ambiance includes high ceilings, fireplace, open kitchen. Husband loved his steak. I ordered chicken thinking it was the healthy option but it was bathed in butter. I would have to call ahead to request something healthfully prepared. The sourdough bread we ordered to start was also soaked in olive oil. Yikes.Meyer Lemon dessert great. Handwritten birthday card very much appreciated. Special place. For me the lack of healthy choices is a big problem. read more

My wife took me out for my Birthday to one the best restaurants in Pasadena. We were excited to return. It has been a while since we had been there We were seated at a table in the back, next to the waiter's area. Definitely not an ideal location. Strike 1 We ordered a cocktail and relaxed looking over the menu. The waiter told us about the specials and we ordered. My wife ordered the chicken tortilla soup and crab cakes for her entree. She was happy with her selections. I ordered my favorite shrimp "corn dogs" for appetizer and the lamb shank special for my entree. The waiter said these are so tender, you don't need a knife. Apps arrived timely and looked great The shrimp was over cooked and tough. Not great, they serve so many of these i figured that they could prepare this perfect every time. Strike 2. There was a long delay between the appetizer being delivered and the entree. Trying to figure out why there was such a delay. Neither of these two item, crab cakes and lamb shank should take that long. This delay was about 30 minutes, fouled off that pitch. The entrees arrived and looked fabulous. What we expected from such a fine establishment. Then I started to cut my lamb shank. It was tough. Not only did i need the steak knife, but i probably could have used something more. I don't know what happened for that preparation, by it was not up to par. Lamb shanks need to braise for a long time to become tender. Strike 3. We ordered desert and that was good. Lemon custard with vanilla ice cream. Then they gave us a second desert for my birthday, which was strange. Why the upsell on the second desert? Valet parking is $8. Nickel and diming customers after spending that much money really chaps me. Unfortunately, the quality of the food and the overall experience made it clear to us that we will not be returning. I hope the other Smith Brothers restaurants in Pasadena, Smittys and Arroyo Chop House, do not have these same types of issues. We will not be returning to any of these. read more

I unfortunately do not have any pictures from my experience last night, and although that doesn't make me the best Yelp Elite Member, I want to start off by saying that the experience surpassed my expectations. Yes, the food was impeccable (scallops with polenta and spinach, Basil Martini, bread basket, filet mignon, pepperoni pizza) but what cannot be captured on photo is how well my party and I were treated from beginning to end. Since this was my first time, my impression of my experience is vivid and memorable. A special shoutout to Katia who was our excellent waiter, & Erica-- an exceptional manager who went above and beyond to make sure all went well. read more

Had such an amazing time at Parkway Grill! The food was great but what really stood out was the service. Omar was hands down the best waiter I've ever had, super friendly, attentive, and just made the whole night easy and fun. Honestly the best service I've experienced anywhere. If you go, definitely ask for Omar! Will be back very soon. Thank you read more

Delightful place to dine! I've been here twice and it doesn't disappoint. My husband brought me for my birthday and I brought my best friend to celebrate her marriage. Both times, we easily made reservations and seated near the back, slightly elevated area. There was a hand written card both times, congratulating us on our occasions- a wonderful start to the evening. We ordered the bread basket which had 4 varitties. Tasty and recommended because food took a while to arrive. We mostly ordered from their special/ limited menu at the time Oysters- a dozen with 3 different types. They were very fresh and flavorful, 9/10 Bread with cheese and prosciutto- verrry tasty. Might be too much carbs if you're planning to chow down on the bread bowl. 8/10 Lamb- it doesn't disappoint. My husband ordered it twice and it'll probably be his staple meal when he dines here 10/10 Steak- supper duperrr juicy! One of the juiciest steaks we tried and my favorite thing thus far! It was simply seasoned and the great quality really shined through 10/10 Scalloped Potatoes- our absolute FAVORITE site so far! Creamy, buttery and just perfect with each of our entrees 10/10 Sea bass (?)- i ordered one of their fish specials and although it was tasty, the portion and flavor wasn't as exciting as the steak and lamb on the table 6/10 Berries Creme Brule dessert- veryyyy delish and a nice sweet ending to an amazing meal read more

Have been here many times and the food and service are always spot on. But this time it was my birthday and ordered my usual ribeye. The waiter brought out two sauces along with my steak. I assumed they were either included or a birthday comp since I never ordered extras. When I got the bill I was charged for both sauces. I deducted the cost from the waiter's tip, but it's kind of disappointing that kind of con happens from such a good restaurant. Check your bill before paying. read more

Came here for an early father's day celebration. I thought Parkway Grill overall was really nice. They were very busy but I was able to find a parking in the street. There are valet if that is what you guys want too. We ordered a few things and for the most part, I thought everything was decent to great. We ordered a bit of everything, from crab cakes, bean soup(taste like it sounds in a good way), steak, pork, fish and a few sides dishes: mushroom, mash potatoes, shishito peppers, cauliflowers, and lobster risotto. I would say that some of the sides didn't do it for me like the mash potatoes and the cauliflowers. I don't really love risotto but the one they made here really hit it for me. I also like the spicy shishito peppers that had the right amount of spicy. As for the crab cake, the crab cake itself was good but I thought the avocado didn't mesh that well together with it. As individuals, I like it but as a combination it didn't go together. We order rib eye, fish of the day(seabass), and hamon pork dish(believe it was a special). Although rib eye is nothing special, but it was also made pretty well. Like out of the 3 we ordered, I would probably take out the steak just because it wasn't special but it's nice when you can share all 3 of it together. The seabass with the sauce and veggies were really great together. I think the most surprising was the hamon pork. Never had anything like it but all the flavors from the apple sauce to great tender the pork is, it really was something special. I want to mention they recommended medium rare and that's what we ordered and when it came it was medium well but they were so nice and took it back and made us a new one and took off the corkage fee. Also, they asked if we wanted something while we wait for them to cook a new hamon dish. Desserts were pretty whatever imo but I usually don't order it in most places so I didn't deduct any points because of it. Overall, I was very satisfied with Parkway Grill and I don't think I'll forget that pork dish. read more

I have been a customer for Parkway Grill for over 30 years. My experience on Dec 30th was disappointing. Sea bass was microscopic and oddly formed like two scraps had been put together for $64.00, mediocre service and could care less and put-out attitude for food allergies. I am disabled on a rollator and the valet was downright rude, begrudgingly getting my walker, no special assistance to ramp just a grunt that I might want to use it. Upon return he was not at my door or helping to return the rollator to the trunk - had to be asked by a member of my party. This was after a generous tip and payment of the high parking fee. Parkway, you need management and to look around at your customer base - which that night was 50 and over, many in their 60s, 70s and 80s - more than a handful of disabled. Overall, a disappointment from a restaurant that considers itself Michelin qualit read more

Parkway Grill is one of Pasadena's best upscale dinner experiences! Came during the holiday season to celebrate the engagement of my boyfriend's brother. Parkway greeted us with a handwritten letter of congratulations and a free dessert. Between ordering and then receiving the food, it was about an hour wait. We did not order any appetizers, and the waiter kept asking if we were okay LOL. I suppose with such long wait times, people usually order appetizers. The food itself was great! The short rib was tender and flavorful, but the scallops are truly AMAZING. First of all, they are enormous but also cooked to perfection. The shrimp linguine pasta was creamy and well seasoned. Portions for the entrees are definitely on the smaller side. We were not extremely hungry so 1 entree per person was enough, however I suggest you order an appetizer or some sides to fill you up. The creme brulee napoleon was crispy and the creme filling was not too sweet. Overall, the food quality is there, but with slow dinner service and incredibly high prices. A good place to come for a celebration, but be prepared for that bill! read more

Parkway Grill has been a staple in Pasadena since 1984. I dinned here many years ago and finally got the opportunity to return. We came here for a birthday celebration on a Monday night. It was fairly empty when we arrived but by the time we left the place had filled up. Our server Juan was delightful and attentive. We ordered cocktails. I had my usual - a Grey Goose Martini, dry, up, with Blue Cheese Stuffed Olives. The hand stuffed blue cheese olives were amazing! The blue cheese was so creamy. This martini was one of the best I've had. (I also recommend the French 85, which was also delicious.) We started with the breadbasket. There were four of us and the small size was plenty. It contained cornbread madeleines, cranberry nut bread, flat crackers, & sourdough. All made in house and each one was yummy! The butter that accompanied it was sprinkled with sea salt. We also shared the Ahi Tuna Tartar. The Ahi was fresh, the chopped avocado was buttery, and the sauce had a nice flavor. Our entrées consisted of: The fish of the day (I think it was Sea Bass), Ragù alla Bolognese, U.S.D.A. Prime Filet Mignon with a side of Yukon Gold Mashed Potatoes, and the Bibb Lettuce Salad. They grow their own organic vegetables and herbs in a garden behind the restaurant. I could taste the quality in my salad. The Di Steffano Burrata Cheese that came with it was so soft and creamy. My friends were all very happy with their dinner selections. Everything was fresh and flavorful, including the pasta, which is made in house. The presentation of the Filet was a little sad compared to the other plates. For dessert we shared the Meyer Lemon Custard (topped with a shortbread cookie with house made ice cream and fresh raspberry sauce) and the Chocolate Lava Cake with berries and house made ice cream. Both were fantastic! The food was delicious, and the service was great. The stained glass skylights and the beautiful bar from the 1920s added to the appeal of the ambience. What made the night even more special was the lovely handwritten, personalized birthday note for the birthday boy. Very classy. Tip: Valet Parking $7 read more

So glad we chose Parkway Grill for a family celebration. It was in December so it was beautifully decked out with sparkly and opulent holiday decor. Service was top notch, access was easy and our meal was delicious; with the staff ensuring everything was prepared and served exactly as we wanted.

I was invited to a special celebration for a birthday and a graduation. Believe it, this is the place to fête an accomplished person. The restaurant staff made two greeting cards to congratulate him, that were better than anything I could have written. So heartwarming! Our service was a Master Class. Our server seemed like the chef herself, so knowledgeable, so helpful. Perfection. Chef's kiss! The wine list is as good or better than a Napa/Sonoma Winery, and we chose French for this evening. A beautiful Bordeaux. I had Gazpacho that was one of the best I've ever experienced. We had some confusion from previous pictures of reviewers, think that we had to order any side dish to go with the meat of sea food. Well, the main dishes come with a perfectly proportioned side, so we ordered enough food for six or seven people, instead of four. Recommend asking the wait staff about accompaniments on the plate. The embellishments for the steaks; We got one with blue cheese, one with truffle butter One with asparagus, lobster and Béarnaise. I imagined that the Béarnaise would be created with bits of asparagus and lobster, but instead it came like a surf and turf! It was way more food than I could eat. The restaurant provided a delicious chocolate celebratory cake with sparkler, wow! And one guest had the creme brulee, which is layered between crisps instead of in a little bowl. A fantastic memorable celebration! read more

I came here for my birthday dinner and it was the best food gift I could ask for! Each bite of every dish was absolutely scumptious and took my food buds to heaven. I loved the appetizer special - whipped ricotta, duck prosciutto (beyond amazing), arugula, and bread. Not pictured was the beet salad which had the most delicious sweet beets in it. My favorite dish was the braised short rib which I'm still craving days later with it's perfect soft meaty taste (side vegetables were outstanding too). The scalloped potatoes and broccolini (perfectly crispy) sides melted in my mouth with how delicious they were. My friend's prime ribeye was the best steak I've ever had and my complimentary bday dessert (Crème Brûlée Napoleon) melted in my mouth with the best sweetness to it. As you would expect, the service was exceptional with an attentive and friendly server and the atmosphere was absolutely beautiful. For the Michelin star equivalent food you get, I think the prices are reasonable. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough - I'm dying to go back already! read more

This review is way over due. Been coming here for over 35 years. Has always been one of my go to restaurants for special occasions as they never disappointed with either the cuisine, service, or ambience. However the last 2 times the experience was not so great. The 1st bad experience wasn't their fault (rude guest) But the 2nd was. Inexcusable wait times service & food. 2 hours( with reservations). Posted my experience & management got hold of me to inquire what happened. They apologized, promised to rectify & sent me gift certificate to make amends. In These days of impersonal big corporations it really means something when management takes the time to reach out & admit mistakes & offer apologies. Parkway Grill is a class act! Good job! read more

It's an old time favorite. Their menu is pretty much the same for SAs long i can remember. The good part is the quality of ingredients and taste has not changed. The ambience is dimmed and can be both a place for dinner dates or business dinners. We had the catfish, the pepperoni pizza, the Bolognese, short ribs, and some peppers for the side - all were good and nothing bad to say. Service was okay. Our waitress seemed like she was not familiar with the menu. She didn't know the answers to the questions we had on the menu. She was nice though. Overall experience was not bad. I will still go back. read more

Very fancy this place was able to accommodate 20+ ppl for a company dinner! For a group this size the staff was superb and very attentive. Shrimp corndogs were fried and the Thai sauce was like a sweet and sour taste - very good. Lamb lollipops were also fantastic and definitely an appetizer bc it comes in three and are small. Sea bass - so so so tender this fish; not too fatty - I gobbled it all up in a few minutes. No regrets. Someone ordered the catfish which was HUGE and garnered a lot of table talk. It was good and like a standard fried fish but I much preferred the sea bass Also we ordered the mashed potatoes with goat cheese and that was AMAZING read more

If you live in the Pasadena area, you know this place as well as I do. It is amazing. Upscale, classy, delicious. Everything is wonderful, from the Valet, to the Service, to the food. I could rave about the poorly named tiger shrimp corndogs, because they're not corndogs, they're amazing tiger shrimp on a stick. But I'm not judging on the name. They were damn good. Truly, it is all about the whole ginger fried catfish. Period. Come here just for that. I think everybody does. If you do not like it, you are a Klingon, a Romulan, or a communist. Or all three. If you do not love this dish, you need to spend some time on a deserted island, thinking about where you currently are in life, what is wrong with you and your value system?!?? It is unbelievable. Order one for two people. It is succulent, the fish flesh is moist, the skin is crisp, it is beyond delicious. We have ordered this every single time we come here. Adventurous? Apparently not. But when you have an amazing thing, stick with it. Keep it up, Smith Brothers. And we will keep coming here. Along with the Arroyo Chophouse, and Smitty's. See you soon! read more

This is definitely a special occasion restaurant. The interior decor combines both the old and new. There are historical elements in the ceiling and the wood finishes lend it a modern, polished look. The side dishes were truly delicious. The broccolini looks simple, but is roasted to perfection. The lobster risotto is very rich in flavors, with lobster pieces sprinkled throughout. Finally, the scalloped potatoes here are a must have. It is a bit of a cross between scalloped potatoes and potatoes au gratin. The bread basket and the black bean soup were okay, but neither of them adds much taste value to the meal. The Ragù alla Bolognese smelled great, but it was a bit disappointing. The entire dish felt very heavy and monotonous, and it turned out quite dull in the end. The dessert was decent and the raspberry purée, but I might choose something else next time. Our server was friendly and professional, and the team was very attentive overall. read more

The Parkway Grill delivers a cozy atmosphere and incredible dining. I enjoyed a beautifully presented, flavorful tuna tartare and fresh oysters for starters. Both dishes were light and refreshing, although the oysters did have a bit of grit to them. For my entrée I had the second best Chilean seabass I've ever had. This was the first time I've ever been asked how I'd like my fish cooked. I ordered it medium rare, same as I order my steak. This fish was exquisite. It had a lovely sear on the outside that was packed with flavor and the inside was glistening and moist. Excellent fish! My companion had the lamb and it was divine. It was cooked perfectly with great seasoning. I enjoyed the lamb just as much as fish. I was very impressed with the quality of our entrées. I cannot wait to come back and try other dishes! read more

Location, Location, Location! Apparently this doesn't apply only to residential homes, but to restaurants as well! Don't get me wrong, Pasadena is a great location, but when you are sitting literally right next to Arroyo Chop house, one of the best steakhouses in LA, it can be very intimidating. Nonetheless, Parkway Grill was able to deliver their very best, without any disappointment. The Chilean Seabass was awesome, none of those undercooked or overcooked miscarriages, temperature was on par, fresh, soft, and buttery. To be honest, Filet Mignon couldn't really compare to Arroyo Chop House's, but they did make the best out of it. It was prepared medium rare with good timing and temperature, red to the center, and seasoned with salt and pepper. It does come with a smaller price tag, can't complain. Really love their lobster risotto, very flavorful, deep ,complex and colorful. Not a dull moment. The birthday boy was very satisfying! https://www.instagram.com/p/CUo-LI0r1ln/?utm_medium=copy_link read more

Parkway Grill - New American Near Me - Pasadena, California

I have to report absolutely terrible service. We were a party of six at the restaurant for a birthday dinner. When our entrees were served, they did not include my mother's entree. The waiter apologized and said there was a mistake. 20-30 minutes later, they got around to serving her entree. This is an expensive restaurant. I arranged a birthday dinner there to have a great meal and good customer service. Instead, they let us down and ruined our festive meal. When you keep one person from getting their meal in a timely fashion, you ruin the meals for everyone. Either you wait for other person to get served and are left with cold food, or you eat your dinner and feel guilty about the other person having no food to eat. read more
