Slow service and lack of quality food

First off I have eaten at this restaurant for about 15yrs or more. With this being said i know for a fact that this place has gone to crap. It should not take over 1.5 hours for 3 people to eat dinner and we finally had to get up and find a manager just to get our check(it was a Thursday night at 7pm so obviously it was not busy to say the least). The service was slow and not friendly at all. Even when the food arrived it was all dried out like it had been sitting under a hot lamp for awhile. We asked for extra sauce and we never received it either.
