I've been here a few times over the years, in fact...

I've been here a few times over the years, in fact my husband and I had our first date here and for that reason alone it is a special place for me. That said, tonight I was so disappointed when we took our friends here for their son's birthday. We told the waiter it was his birthday (he turned 7) and no cake or ice cream was offered for him. Both my meal and my girlfriend had our meals come much later than those of our husbands, and they both came with the cilantro sauce we had specifically requested not to have. In fact I'd pointed out the line item on the menu to be sure the waiter got it. He then asked what we wanted to do? Like there was any real option other than to wait more for food - or go hungry I guess. So we waited again while our husbands and the birthday boy ate.

While the food was good, no one ever offered to even discount the food that had been done wrong - if only to compensate for the loss of the experience of eating food together - which is kind of the point when going out to dinner. It was a real let down for us at a place where I've usually been treated with more attention and care.
