Making my first trip home in a few years next month. Staying a couple of nights in NO and have August reservations on a Saturday night to celebrate the wife's birthday.

I've never been one to put in a word with a restaurant for a special occasion. Does anyone have any experience with putting in such a word with a restaurant in general and August in particular? Not looking for anything too overly romantic or outgoing, but would rather just like to hear some experiences.

Thanks.

They started me and the wife with complimentary glasses of bubbly for the anniversary, so it's worth mentioning.

If you get a dessert, they'll write "Happy Birthday" in chocolate on her plate. Don't remember if it was a complimentary thing or not...probably not.

oh, I'll be sure to write a letter to Besh about the drunk people sitting next to me who ruined my dinner talking about their deep sea fishing trip where they did not catch any tuna. Hopefully I'll get a freebie.

Personally, I would arrange for a small, simple flower arrangement to be placed at the table for when you arrive.

I didn't know you were such a romantic, R2R. I second that idea.
I'd also call and ask if a signed menu from Besh is possible for a fun souvenir from a special evening.
