I'm a fool. I seem to expect good service whenever I eat out at something more upmarket than a chaa chaan teng or a dai pai dong.It started with the 6pm entrance - we walked in and I announced to the waiter in red (named R***) that i wanted a table for two.

I'm a fool. I seem to expect good service whenever I eat out at something more upmarket than a chaa chaan teng or a dai pai dong.
It started with the 6pm entrance - we walked in and I announced to the waiter in red (named R***) that i wanted a table for two. He looked right at me as he continued walking towards me, and then right past me, failing to acknowledge my presence. It was then that my dinner partner advised me we should simply choose our own table.
We ordered at the counter, then chose the table right at the entrance and waited. No problem. The problem was R*** walking behind us back and forth talking on his mobile phone......
The food arrived. My partner's spahetti was forgettable, saved only by her copious sprinkling of parmesan cheese and Tobasco sauce.
My half-order of pizza fared marginally better. The winner hands-down was the cheese-covered mussels. There's always a danger of them losing their original taste when caked in a topping, but the cheese fell right off (I guess it isn't supposed to, but it ensured the steamed mussels retained their original flavour).
Back to the counter I went to order. A gentleman in black took my dessert order. He asked me questions to confirm. He advised that the bread pudding which I wanted would take 40 minutes (hence my decline). He interacted with me! SERVICE!!! So, we settled on a cake and a pancake.
Then R*** appeared. Since we were seated right next to the cake display, we watched aghast as he slid open the cake door with MY PLATE, then proceeded to use HIS FINGERS to place the cake on to the plate! But I can't blame him totally - I didn't see any utensils for him to use. That explains why each cake was individually wrapped in clear plastic......
No surprise, the banana pancake was fattened by cheap cream, but at least there was banana inside the pancake too - the two slices on the outside were just to whet my appetite. (Hey, Das Gute, why don't you try that too?) The cheesecake also was slightly above average, but the strawberry itself was wonderful.
The menu looks attractive and the prices are reasonable, so we will be back...but only after R*** quits.
