 I agree with your observation that "too much service can be bad service".
 It's one of the reasons I'll never go back to the Tin Angel; there was a
 constant swarm of servers in my face the entire evening.

 However, I do expect the server to introduce him/herself and inform me of
 the specials within ten minutes of being seated.  I also expect him/her to
 stop by once after the entrees have been served, so that problems with the
 meal can be mentioned.  Cafe Flora failed on both counts.
