The Grand's dining room

Eating at the Grand takes a while as you are served course by course by amazing servers in a beautiful room with a view. When you go in the room, you are seated by one person, asked about coffee by someone else, and served by yet another person. Your chair gets pulled out when you sit. Your water glass gets filled when it's barely half empty. When they bring you dessert, first they clear off all the extra dishes, leaving the spoons at the top of your plate, then they use a metal thing to brush the crumbs off your place, then, and only then, they place your dessert in front of you. When they change table clothes for the next people, they can't let the bare table show, so they have this little "magic" move to cover and pull the used one. As you leave and exit the door, someone is standing there is a basket of little mint chocolates and you take one as they say, "Thank you for coming. Have a wonderful evening."
