Have you ever requested a server from a previous visit?

Many times. An excellent server makes fine dining a memorable experience worth repeating. Good post.

I've requested not to be seated with a server.

Kevin was unbelievably smarmy, and more focused on delivering his lame comedy schtick than anything remotely resembling appropriate service in a fine dining restaurant.

He was so insufferable I threatened to stab him with my fork when he attempted to clear a plate that still had (amazing) food on it without bothering to ask first.

When planning a return visit, to include that same amazing plate (Couscous Carbonara), I called for a reservation and made my seating request.

Got quite the stink-eye from Kevin when our party arrived.

Have synthesizers, will travel...

Yes! At Flemming’s, I always get the same server. There was another restaurant I used to go to. It was not a fine dine type of place, like Flemming’s. The waitress knew how we liked our food. She would bring it to the table to confirm we did not want it. Then, she would go back and cook it herself. When she cooked it it never came out wrong.

Went to a party bar in Dallas. The bartender knew my date as he had worked with her brother. Multiple visits.

About 5 years later, more upscale restaurant bar, different date. Bartender remembered me and my drink.

About 6 years later at an upscale steakhouse in Las Vegas. Bartender remembers me and my drink.

I was floored. Must have had one of those eidetic memories.
