My only restaurant experiences outside the US are in Europe, and my experiences are that service is perfectly friendly but much slower.
This doesn't impact me much (nothing wrong with a leisurely dinner), but it is murder on the small business owners of restaurants; below $50USD/table or so, success or failure in food service is all about turnover.
