Chez Llama

Sometimes it takes forever. That's my main beef with the whole restaurant thing in this game. In RL the whole breakfast dinging out experience can take about an hour, tops. Sometimes, depending on the restaurant (mostly its managerial staff) and how crowded it is, dinner can take a couple of hours. Longer than that, most people walk out. I only let my Sims go out to dine when there's nothing pressing they have to do or somewhere else they must be.
