Great food. Service great. Very minor feedback - server reached across another diner to clear the plates. Do they still have the convention of serving at the left of the diner?

We had dinner here on 26/4/25, before the Rock Through the Ages Show. There were 5 in our group. Everyone enjoyed their meals, however, I did find the green prawn curry a little too watery. All in all it was an enjoyable dinner . Thank you.
