Tai Pan Chinese Restaurant, Clifton Park

food was good - long lines

Worst service. We went there on a Saturday night at 7:00. No one was up front to seat us. We waited there for 20 minutes just forsomeone to take our name. During that time three couples who were there before us walked at. There was noone behind the bar either so we just stood there. One gentleman was merely waiting there to pick up a takeout order he phoned in and had been waiting inside the restaurant for half an hour just simply to give his name to someone. When the waitress/hostess finally took our name, she did not ask who was there first, so she attempted to seat people who had just walked in the door. They piped up and said something. When we were seated, it took 20 minutes for anyone to approach our table. By then we were ready top place a drink order and order our food. The waitress simply gave us some tea and left. Did not take our order. After another 20 minutes of waiting we walked out of the restaurant. We left around 8:10. The gentleman was still waiting to give his name for his takeout order. Will never go back.
