Dear Tony! We regret to read your expectations were not matched. Yes; we did start with 15/20 minutes delay cause we wanted to wait for all the guests to show up. We advertise and understand our Thanksgiving celebration as a family-style dinner which - at least to us - implies waiting for everybody to be seated at the common table. Starters and soups were served right away and we allowed plenty of time for guests to go for a second and third run on the buffet before cleaning up everything for the desserts. I am sorry this took too long for your schedule and I wish you had told us so. And no, there was no strategy to run up our alcohol tab. If so, we would not have placed and continuously refilled bottles of water on the table free of charge, wich - as I am sure you must have noticed in other restaurants in Vienna and in Austria in general - is everything but customary. Anyway; I do appreciate your feedback as it will help us improve our future communication to make sure our guests enter the Andante with the right expectations. Hope you had a great time in Vienna!
