I would rather Bella Mama's professional, efficient approach rather than have a smiley chatty waiter trying to cover up inferior service.

i cannot agree with this, there are many restaurants in Calis that give you great food and wonderful service, service, that is not inferior.. In fact, you yourself H, have given awards to the Meeting Point. A place that is so warm and friendly, they always give you a great welcome and the food and service are really good, probably why they have won the CBF award for two years. As as for being busy with bums on seats, it is best to get their early, as it is always full and a lot cheaper than Bella Mamas.
They also do not rush you out of the place, you are always welcome to sit on and they always offer you a tea or coffee on the house.
