more meal stuff

Boma...first time for us. We checked in upstairs. Got a buzzer and when downstairs. And waited and waited. It didn't seem real busy and we saw people coming and going and we were still waiting. After 20 min or so, I went up to the desk to ask about how long. The CM told me "we have been buzzing you". It turns out our buzzer wasn't registered or something. So now we had to wait for the next table. After about ten min we saw a manager type person and just as we thought to talk to him, our buzzer went off. So we were seated and we started eating, but a bit later the manager turns up again. I mean we were thinking "our first visit to boma's and we are sitting for 1/2 hr on an empty night because someone slipped up" So I go and told my story. The manager thanked me and when off to talk to people. Back to the food. My DH loved it. I thought it was ok. Some things were really good, a few things were yuck (at least to me)..but I didn't go away hungry. I tried the zebra domes that everyone raves about. I didn't like them. I mean they were ok, but not something I would rush over to get. So after we are just about ready to pop, a chef walks over with a special dessert. Tells us we have to eat it our fingers, no forks. It was small globs of fried something on skewers stuck into a large hunk of pineapple, with chocolate drizzeled all over the place. Okkkkkk.....and we are thinking, does he have us confused with someone else. Maybe someone it's someone birthday. So we sort of sat there, feeling bad that (a) we might have someone else's treat and (b) we were so full we couldn't eat it. So at that point the manager walks up and asks how we like it. We weren't sure what we were eating, it was good, just didn't know what it was. Turned out it was fried oreos. We thanked him, but we said we were so full. He offered to have it boxed up. Our server brought out a box and said she would be back in a min to boxed it up. We transfer it ourselves. It seemed silly to wait for her to do it. So anyway the manager told us, sorry about the wait for the meal. He said he told the CM, if someone doesn't response to a pager, you have to go look for them. We were quite pleased with the outcome. As long as we don't get the feeling of, "we don't care lady, don't bother us", we are ok.
