Dear Customers, There are some things that I would like to let you know. I don't mean anything, and I am not complaining. I just thought that it is good for you to know. Please remember to make reservation if you know that you are bringing an important guest to dinner. The restaurant is meant for everybody to come and dine. I swear that the restaurant is really full and that is why I couldn't seat you. Do you think that I had purposely rejected to seat you to give you a reason to scold me?

After we served to the table, let's say, 5 glasses of iced water, 3 in the group wanted warm water instead and asked for it. In the end, there will be a total of 8 glasses of water at the table.
