The atmosphere was rather dim and gloomy, which made me suspect they were trying to hide something. Unfortunately, the waiter did not seem to possess basic service and sales skills. For example, leaving dirty plates on the table until we paid our bill was quite annoying. How many times can someone walk by their station without picking up anything to improve the dining experience? It's clear that we go out to eat for more than just the food. Just a note: this should be obvious!
