Which lives longer in the memory: the food or the service?

It's a subject I debate with friends endlessly. I have always been baffled as to why, unlike restaurants in any major US city, London restauaraters don't seem to invest any time, effort or money into ensuring that their staff are knowledgeable, friendly and attentive. Service in most London restaurants, event the best, is awful!
