But the best prepared feast can easily be ruined by bad service.  I have 
attended several feasts that have had this problem.

I like to think of feasts as a performance art.  You must have a good script 
(menu) to start.  The actors (individual dishes) must each perform their part 
well, they must respect each other and provide an ensemble performance.  The 
stage must be well managed and the direction must be good, etc... Oh and 
practice makes perfect.
