"I've been dining at this restaurant since it first opened. The food has always been excellent, but this time the service fell short of expectations. The server was inattentive, left dirty dishes on the table, and we had to ask for everything. He didn't seem knowledgeable about the soups and was quite abrupt. We were seated next to the server station, and when he finally came to refill our water, it felt forced. If this had been my first visit, I wouldn't want to return because of him."
