El Patron Mexican Restaurant & Cantina, Orlando

On a recent trip to Orlando from Seattle my family and I were searching for something to eat and went into Vallarta Mexican Grill. We were seated in a very large round booth in a far back corner of the restaurant. I took my Nikon D70 camera and sat it on the seat between my daughter and I in the round booth. It was rather late and, other than a few people at the bar, we were the only ones in the restaurant. My own fault...when we were done my daughter and I slid out two different ways. I left my camera. After a few moments in the car I realized it was gone. My husband went back and spoke to the manager and our waiter who he was told had bussed our table. My husband called me after the manager said they never saw the camera and I spoke to the manager myself letting him know that the camera could be replaced but the disk of vacation pictures could not. My husband asked to speak to the waiter again. Though my husband had just seen him he was told he had gone home. The manager said his staff would not take the camera. Four ladies and a small child were sitting in the same booth we had been in. The manager said the ladies in the booth must have taken it. The booth was a large round one. The only way to clean the booth would have been to slide in on the bench and the camera was large and hard to miss. I went back in with my husband and spoke to the ladies sitting in the booth. They didn't have it and only one had anything near big enough to put it into and it would have been a stretch. I spoke to the manager who seemed short and unconcerned. I left him my phone number and address and asked that the disk be mailed back to me. I never got a call back from him so, three days later, we went back and the waiter, looking off in the distance, said it hadn't shown up. I wouldn't eat here. The food was mediocre and the meal ended up costing over $1,000.00.
