"This restaurant made me appreciate the American custom of tipping. Generally I like not having to tip in Europe (although that practice seems to be changing a bit), but at home a waiter knows that he can earn a great tip by providing excellent service or a not so good tip if he's just not that into you. The servers at Anda Lucia were just not that into us. A request for water was never fulfilled, our waiter rushed us through ordering, and gave us the hand when we tried to get his attention for something. Finally, he tried to insist that our US style credit card without a chip wouldn't work in his machine before he even tried to swipe. Really? Were we the first customers you ever had with a chip free credit card? And then lo and behold! The credit card worked on the first attempt, so what was all the drama about? When traveling abroad, we bend over backwards to dispel the myth of the ugly American. We are polite and deferential and NEVER start off in English. Hubby speaks both German and Spanish quite well, and I can do just fine in Spanish myself, especially at a restaurant. So why the lackluster service? We'll never know but I hope it wasn't because we're auslanders! The food btw was excellent! Sardines, mussels, cold seafood mix, tortilla española, and patatas bravas were all delicious. Some of the dishes were slightly different from what we're used to at home but because we're not far from Spain, perhaps more authentic. The meatballs were all beef and no bread crumbs so they were a bit dense, but they came in a delicious tomato sauce. The setting right on Sauvigny Square was also beautiful and a definite draw. If we'd had a different waiter this review would be four stars at least, but only the excellent food and drinks kept it at three rather than two stars."
