In your situation, could there have been a new chef replacing the previous one, hence the drop in quality? Reason I speculate such as a possibility is because the mediocrity seems to have pop out on your "last couple" of visits. Meaning if I read you correctly, it wasn't as if after those mediocre run ins you then had the excellent quality again that you used to get.
