I hope so too. Funnily enough I am going to a nice Italian on Wednesday unfortunately its an all female do, but the waiters are worth going for just to feast my eyes! gosh I sound desperate,not really but they always make a fuss of us older ladies. On a cynical note it could be because when I go with my children they seem to think I am the one paying. Hopefully the conversation will be so riviting that you won't notice the slow service. Timing is very important for me when eating out, not too slow but I hate to feel rushed. God luck.
