Did you tell them you were there alone and not waiting for anybody?
I went to a restaurant (alone) and the staff showed me to a table right in the middle of the room. My seat was facing the direction of where the waiting staff wait. I started reading. 95 minutes later, they brought me the menu. This is a record for me, at least.

Yes. I asked for a table for one. (It probably wouldn't be fair to call it record otherwise...) Though I didn't make any other effort to get the menu.

I didn't want to embarrass the staff by making them think that I was upset about being ignored for an hour and a half, so I thought it better to just wait for them to realise or fate to intervene in some other way.

I'll admit that initially I completely failed to understand that the moral of this story is that no one acted for so very long to avoid embarrassment on either side. I thought this was a happy tale of allowing an introvert space and time to contemplate until he was ready.

Pro-move: call to reserve a table, order the food, and say you want to eat when you arrive. Time-efficient and both sides benefit. :-)

That's shocking! One table was turned around twice while I was waiting, though...

I have a rule, If a table that arrived after order and have food before we get the menu, we leave directly.

You've never read for longer than 95 minutes in one sitting?
