What is it about this place? They are the only restaurant in town who hasn't figured out the art of turning tables.

Last night marks the 4th occassion we have tried to go have a meal here in the last 4 months, to no avail. Several times we've called and been told that, despite not taking reservations and having exactly 4 chairs inside to wait for a table, their current wait time was AT LEAST 2 HOURS? Last night we showed up at 8:30, saw 2 people waiting for a table, and were told (contrary to a little sign posted outside indicating that 9:00 would be the next avail table) that it would be AT LEAST AN HOUR AND A HALF wait.
WTF?!
Unless they are serving crack-laced manna and 1-hour souffles at this joint, I don't understand how they can't figure out how to turn their 5 tables faster than 2+ hours each - especially after being in business for a year now in a little suburban neighborhood.
I just don't get it - maybe after I've lived in Wallingford another 5 years I'll someday get to taste their 2-hour-wait-worthy fare, but anyplace that can't figure out how to get a local in for a meal in less than 90 minutes on a freakin Wednesday may have earned my feared "lifetime ban" in favor of the many other delectable restaurants in jet city....
