I brought my wife for our Wedding Anniversary on 12-5 because we had such a great experience last year during our Honeymoon.
I made the reservation and told the hostess that answered that it was our Anniversary. When we arrived, the hostess asked if today was a special occasion and I reiterated what the special occasion was. We were seated in a very small table for two against the wall. The service was slow, our waiter would disappear for 15-20 minutes at a time.
Our Anniversary was never acknowledged by our Waiter, and the food was very mediocre. The experience soured us on wanting to ever return.
