Happy service staff make better drinks, provide better service, and will make the place 'better.' Spend a few minutes talking to your server, your barman, doorman, whomever, and let them know you appreciate the place and you appreciate what they are doing for the place. Try and get them to see the place as you see it. I can tell you from personal experience that this takes time, but the results are amazing. After many years of visiting the Mai-Kai, most of the wait staff say Hi, all of the servers recognize us, even some of the kitchen staff say Hi when we see them. There is absolutely no reason you can't say the same about your experiences at the Tonga Room.
