A restaurant with reasonable prices is not easy to find. They decided to try it. They were terribly unhappy with it. There was music for entertainment, but it was much too loud. They couldn't hear each other talk. The waiter didn't take their order promptly. He let them wait and wait. Frank felt he was impolite when he served them to. Frank doesn't like a rude waiter. Then the dish he served Peg was cold and hard to cut. She had to ask for a sharp knife. Her knife was too dull to cut it. They don't want to go there again. As a matter of fact, Frank left a very small tip. If you ask me, good service is more important than a cheap price.
