Sometimes, I have meals in a private room with friends. Last night, I leisurely enjoyed my meal. The other day, when I had lunch with a few people, the staff started moving tables at the far end of the restaurant. The noise was so bad that we couldn't have a conversation. This made me feel the lack of common sense in the restaurant. Providing good food and considering the customers' situation are also important. I felt there was a lack of attentiveness. It was disappointing.
