I enjoy a nice dining experience too, but I don't enjoy waiting for 30 minutes to place an order without water or a drink on the table. Then being rushed to quickly order without being told the specials or given time to think about them. Add noisy kids into that mix and it's not a great combo.

Like I said, some servers are great and some just clearly haven't been trained. The good news is that the food is always great just not always worth the aggravation.
