My experience in restaurants all throughout the EU is that service is perfectly acceptable. I really intensely dislike over the top service - I want the employees to be polite and friendly but not to fawn over me - I want to feel that they're my equals in a social sense, not servile (but that doesn't mean they shouldn't respond to complaints etc.) I guess I'll have to take a trip to the US to see the difference in expectations.
