"While the food was nicely presented, and wished we had tried some different options, our waiter was rude.

He brought our wine initially and asked if we were ready. While my friend ordered, but when it came to be my turn, the waiter left before I could even state what I wanted. 

...he simply walked past me while I grabbed the menu before him. The whole time he did not ask how our food was till he brought us our check and by then I was still hungry and had wanted to order...ended up not ordering the 2 rolls and dessert..."

Restaurant owners should train their waiters and waitresses well. As you can see from this restaurant review in Austin, TX, you may be losing money from waiters who ignore hungry customers? Worse, they could be getting a better tip by simply being more sensitive to the needs of your restaurant guests. Some people who go out to eat fairly often are already accustomed to common server courtesy such as asking if your customers are doing okay and if the food tastes alright. Skipping on someone just because a waiter is in a hurry to serve others can cost you repeat customers.
