Lazarus' explanation was as detailed as we have come to expect.
La explicación de Lazarus was tan detallada como cabía esperar.

Maybe it is not the best translation, but it is the first one that comes to mind. Let me think about the rest.

Hello: The grammar is perfect, but I but sounds better "La explicación de Lazarus fue tan detallada como se esperaba" I hope it can help!

That conveys "was expected," but does it really include the idea of "came to expect"?

La explicación de Lazarus was tan detallada como de costumbre.

Am I the only one noticing that Lazarus and samdie are using Spanglish?

As to the suggestions so far, none really scratches my itch. It may be that this concept just can't be expressed in Spanish (something that is very common between all language pairs).

El camarero mantuvo el servicio al que nos hemos acostumbrados en ese restaurante.
El camarero mantuvo el servicio al que nos hemos llegado a acostumbrar en ese restaurante. (too long)

Los clientes han terminado acostumbrándose a productos de alta calidad.

La explicación de Lazarus fue tan detallada/minuciosa como a las que nos tiene acostumbrados.

It is impossible to translate that "come to" with a simple formula. Sometimes "llegar a" is a pretty good match; sometimes adding "por fin"conveys a very similar meaning; "acostumbrarse" is reasonably close, but not exactly the same, and in other cases the whole expression has to be changed completely. These translations I've attempted are maybe too long, but they don't really add much to the sentence, so they're probably not a good idea. I think we have to admit that we don't express things the same way sometimes.

Thanks, L, for the translations. Rather than translating from English, let me ask you (or anyone else here) to think what you would say given the following situation.

Vas a un restaurante por primera vez, y encuentras el servicio excelente.
Vuelves varias veces, y cada vez el servicio es sobresaliente.
Un día, el dueno del restaurante te pide que completes un cuestionario sobre el servicio.
Quieres decir que ese día el servicio ha sido buenísimo, como siempre lo esperas que sea, y como lo has experimentado antes. Que no te ha desilusionado en ningún aspecto. Y que ha sido del mismo nivel como el de tu experiencia pasada.

En esta situación, ¿qué escribirías?

(Excuse any mistakes in my Spanish above.)

Assuming that you meant to write En estas situaciónes, ¿qué escribirías? (jeje)
1) ¡Así se hace! o ¡Servicio como se debe! o ¡Servicio impecable!
2) ¡Servicio estupendo, como de costumbre! (o "como siempre")
3) ¡Siempre de primer rango! o ¡De primer rango sin falla!

Mmmm... un intento rápido, a ver qué me sale:

El servicio y la comida han sido magníficos, como cada vez que venimos a este restaurante. Espero que en el futuro la calidad del restaurante no cambie sino para mejor, (si cabe).

Assuming that you meant to write En estas situaciónes...

No, that isn't what I meant. The whole thing is one, single scenario.

No. 1 isn't what I was looking for, but 2 and 3 might be candidates. Thanks.

OK, I think I now have a feel for it.

It may sound perverse, but this kind of problem is one of the things I love about learning a foreign language. You are breezing along Language Highway when you suddenly come to a roadblock, and you have to find a detour. Your brain has to stretch to find another way of expressing a certain concept that is familiar in your native language, but difficult to access in the target language.

Thanks to all who replied!

Your first two sentences seemed to me to preclude the possibility of a single scenario (and that impression was reinforced by the introductory phrase of the 3rd sentence). Obviously my suggestions were less effusive/prolix that the one suggested by Lazarus but that may be simply attributable to the differences between the Latin and Anglo-Saxon temperaments. Of course, since you question was about how to say something in Spanish, I will defer to him (now and forevermore).

P.S. Feel free to insert "je je" or "ja ja" or, even "ho ho" as Gus likes to say [although Maryland is not my idea of "up north"]) wherever possible/appropriate.
