give/offer really good service

The servers at this restaurant give/offer/provide really good service.

Do all the bolded words fit in the above and convey the same idea? Thanks.

The waiters

give and provide are synonymous; offer is acceptable but I would not use it as a rule in this context.

Hi there,

I am always confused with 'offer' and 'provide'. What is the difference between them and are they interchangable?

And
What is the difference between 'chance' and 'opportunity'?
Are they interchangable?

thanks
pete

Thanks, Anglika.
But could you explain in a few words why as a rule you wouldn't use "offer" in the context?
