Today I would like to talk about the service we received in a restaurant where a friend of mine celebrated his birthday last Saturday evening. My friend had decided to put a table in a local intelligent restaurant for the party. It was more family-driven but this made it feel more comfortable and the atmosphere was great and the service was excellent. As I mentioned, I went to a restaurant because a friend had invited me to celebrate his birthday party. There were a lot of people, I haven’t known since secondary school and it was really nice to catch with them and talk about what we had been to think of when we last got together. The service was good because the restaurant staff and owners really made a feel at home. From the moment we walked in the waiter’s room, we were pulled in, approachable, attentive. Nothing was too much asked. They brought out a cake with candle and sent happy birthday to my friend, although we hadn’t asked them to do this. Overall, the delicious food and their friendly service make it an unforgettable evening.
