What are your likes/dislikes about restaurant servers?
Personally, I ask if anyone needs anything when I deliver the food and then again when I check up to see how everything is after everyone has tasted their food. This is simple. Despite the fact that I deliver everything to go with the meal some people like other condiments, such as hot sauce or mayo to go with their food. That should never be a problem. If your waiter is too incompetent to do this you are eating at a very low end restaurant.

Mr. K- it's Mediterraneo in...New Jersey. We do have grilled octopus as well as lamb. And thanks for the advice everyone. Dining is certainly a subjective experience, so there are bound to be different opinions.

4u4me, did you not notice that there was a question asked at the top of the page...a server WANTED to know our OPINIONS. Basically I think everyone is giving their "Ideal" service here. It doesn't mean that there isn't a wide range of acceptable service. And also who better to judge food service than the people who are getting served? You don't need to open a restaurant to know what you like in a server.

With all said and done, what is the name and location of that fairly chic Mediterranean-inspired restaurant ? I have a craving for some grilled octopus and roasted lamb tonight.

Actually, the service expectations commiserates with the type of restaurant and is also subjective. I am not getting that attentive service at my favorite rib joint, that I will get at Le Bernardin, who's service is more of a more noticable orchestrated performance.
If you want to know what flawless service is like on a perfect day...Go to Jean Georges and eat there. Wow! They had ESP. Actually they are just very discreet with their attentiveness. They watch from a distance and can see when glasses get half empty and ALL diners at a table are finished.
If your guests feel good when they are leaving, You have done a great job....BRAVO to al those extremely hard working individuals who have made me feel fabulous!
