Request was made, the FA (female) never left the galley area again for duration of flight. FA (male) served the "dinner" and then got us orange juice.

If it wasn't important at the time when it was fixable, how important is it now?
You are assuming no one asked, not true.
There were a grand total of 7 FC passengers, none of whom were served a beverage of any kind until after "dinner".
