Familiar as the adjective is needed here. This means you recognize them.

Has this test sentence lost the word 'you'?

It is always more relaxing to eat in a restaurant where the faces of the staff are familar and you know everyone by name.

As the sentence currently stands, it means "the faces of the staff know everyone by name." -- which is quite odd.

Although Amy pointed out the error over a year ago, the word "you" is still missing from the sentence.
