It took a bit longer than usual, but they did a good job given the situation.

I wonder how prevalent this is across the country?
Now you've opened a can of worms... With prices sky high, popular restaurants that up till now have required reservations are now walk-ins with a five minute wait, barely hanging on. Sign of the times. Not just restaurants, either. Working people can't afford to live in the city where there is work. Storefronts vacant in prosperous cities, not just the Rust Belt anymore.
