The table, otherwise, was completely bare. I stopped eating and went to speak with the general manager. After telling him the problem, he completely understood and brought us a bottle of Champagne and desserts for everyone. Additionally, I told him to clear my plate because I wasn’t going to be the only person eating in that situation. Also, comped my meal.
That type of service is only acceptable at McDonald’s.
Geez that's very bad service.
I was at an outback roadhouse (ie the real outback, not the American chain) and as soon as you finished they swooped in to take the plates. While I'd prefer they didn't, in that sort of setting friendly service is all I ask for. Also it was the only place to get food within 300km, so I wasn't going to complain!
