A friend and I went out for a quick bite to eat at Chiang Mai for lunch. Our server promptly came over to the table when we arrived and then failed to show his face the rest of the afternoon. We found ourselves saying ""where did he go?"" the whole time. About 15 minutes after we had finished eating he stopped by to box up our food. He pulled dishes aside that we did not wish to have boxed and set them on a ledge across from our booth. He came back with our food nicely boxed and our check. Another 15 minutes went by before someone stopped over to pick up our payment. Of course, it wasn't our server. The woman who stopped by initially offered to run our cards, then changed her mind when we told her we needed to split up the check. She handed our receipt back and told us to do the math. She then looked over at the dishes our server had set on the ledge and asked if we needed the food boxed up- which was interesting since we had our boxed food right in front of us. Another 5 minutes went by before our server came over. He happily agreed to split up our check for us and run the cards. Apparently there is a reason they ask you to do your own math- they don't know how.
If you have two hours for lunch and a lot of patience, this is a great place to eat.
