Legal Question in Consumer Law in Virginia

Restaurant Service

After waiting one hour and fifty minutes for our meal in a restaurant. We asked the waitress to cancel our order and bring the check for the appetizer. After a few minutes the manager came to the table and said you ordered it you will pay for it, what do you expect this is a holiday weekend.

So we paid by cash for what we ate. Was this illegal to leave?? Manager shouted it was and called the cops. We left.
