Incredible Dining Experience

Tonight, we decided to treat ourselves by dining out. The whole first year we lived in Phoenix, we would drive by a newer seafood restaurant on a daily basis. We had heard wonderful things about their food, so tonight we decided to give this restaurant a try.
Neither of us are huge seafood fans, but we will eat fish and we'd been told they also have steaks on the menu.
We went early, about 5:45 p.m. and when we entered the restaurant, we only saw 4 other tables with patrons. But on the other half of the restaurant, there were approximately 30 people in the bar area. We were seated in an elegant booth in the dining room and opened our menus.
Before we had a chance to review the menu, our server placed a bowl of tortilla chips and a dish of salsa on our table. We looked at each other with raised eyebrows. So this is how seafood places operate now? Apparently they weren't so much a seafood place as a mexican food place.
Ok, we'll go with that.
DH ordered a taco salad and DW ordered a balsamic chicken wrap. Our server was very prompt and attentive. Our food arrived after a short wait and we enjoyed it. The food I mean.
Our dining experience just seemed to get weirder and weirder. There was a gentleman who had apparently been outside holding a sign advertising the restaurant and now decided that he needed to be in the restaurant and loudly claiming that the fact there were 5 whole tables of guests was because of him and his work.
Ok. We'll let that one go.
One of the waiters brought 3 balloons to children seated at a table behind us. Once again, we looked at each other and waited for the inevitable.
Yup, about 2 minutes later, one of the balloons hit a sharp decoration hanging from the wall and popped. From the kitchen, we heard one of the employees say he thought it sounded like gunfire coming from the dining room.
Ok, once again, we let it go.
Neither of us had finished our dinner when our waitress brought our check and told us she would take care of it when we were ready. But there was no hurry.
Really? Seriously? Ok.
We decided not to rush since there were still 20+ empty tables in the restaurant and we figured they didn't Really need ours RIGHT NOW!!
After finishing her chicken wrap, DW was eating the seasoned fries on her plate when one of the waiters came over and asked if she was finished and could he take her plate?
DW looked at him and finished chewing the fries in her mouth before replying "no, I'm sorry. I'm not done yet."
Seriously? Seriously??
Ok, we let that one go too.
We couldn't stop giggling now though! It just kept getting better!!
After another waitress came by and asked DW if she was finished with her plate (yes, she was, finally). Instead of taking the plate, the waitress said she'd be right back to get it.
So now, they Really Don't want to take the plate!
A table of 4 was soon seated behind DH and one of them asked the waitress where all the seafood had gone from the menu. We heard the waitress tell them that the restaurant had gone through 3 menu changes since she'd been there. We didn't hear how long that had been but apparently it was a relatively short time.
Our plates were finally cleared from the table and a young waiter stopped by our table and asked how we enjoyed the food. We both said the food was good. The waiter felt some inexplicable need to tell us that he'd like to order some food but he loaned $20 to his friend and now his gas tank is near empty and "Holy Crap", he doesn't have any money!
SERIOUSLY???!!!!
As we left the restaurant, we were still giggling and told each other that next time, we have to remind each other to "Turn it off!" Our Freak magnet, that is!!
Life is one constant adventure!!
