My father believed that truly great restaurants don't do this, because they KNOW their food is perfect.
Practically speaking, though, dpeck is right... shortly after the food is dropped, the waiter should confirm the meal is to the customer's expectations. This is also the chance for customers to ask for condiments, get a replacement fork for the one they dropped, etc. Nothing worse than sitting in front of a hot meal you can't eat and being unable to get the waiter's attention.

That would be "Waiter come taste the soup": https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0094898/crazycredits?item=cz0003114 https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0094898/crazycredits?item=cz000... More seriously, it all depends on the "level" of service, and - ultimately - on the ratio waiters/served people, which is usually between 1/6-1/10 (excellent service) and 1/25-1/30 (scarce or lacking service).
