During basic training we often were told that we had 45 minutes to eat. The problem was not that we would take 45 minutes to eat a meal, but that there was 150 soldiers a head of us waiting to eat. I’d say that any restraint that limits how much time you can spend there should be boycotted. I was in the military as well (Canadian Army).

In Air Force bootcamp, We had to stand at attention until the last person came to the table. If I remember it was about 5 people. We had I think it was 15 minutes to eat. If you wanted seconds you had to scoff it down, go back for more and be done within 15 minutes..Oh did I forget it was required that we drink TWO glasses of water with every meal? To top that off after getting back to our bunks (morning, we got up at 5am and had to muster for breakfast.) we had 30 minutes to S____, Shower, Shave and make our beds....LOL Well I guess that's not the same as the story above, but I had a flashback..I would think it's probably different now.

They can politely ask if you can accomodate them while they make efforts to accomodate you, but not a threating way I am sure there are other good restaurants in Montreal areas, no loss for you Share your opinion here too :)

Eat, Pay and Get out!! Enjoy the food the time you get!! Ohh and don't forget to relax!! You'll experience something unique!! Yeah right!!! You are not paying for fast-food!! "urgent situation occurs"... what? I can't believe they said that. That's for me laughing in your face!!! :) I would definitely avoid that type of restaurant. Cause I want to enjoy my time with friends and family... without rushing!! Wow, that’s intense! Eat, Pay and Get out!! Enjoy the food the time you get!! Ohh and don’t forget to relax!!
