He was very nice but sweating profusely due to the back and forth to the kitchen. Our waiter had two tables and the kitchen appeared to be about a mile away. The dinner on the beach was supposed to be surf and turf. We didn't fall for it and finally were released after two hours and fifteen minutes.
