Even the best laid plans can be stymied, as this person found out when they tried to throw a nice birthday party.
This person did everything right when it comes to planning ahead for a party. As u/Diylion writes, they were throwing their in-laws a double birthday with ten people total. It's a common occurrence for large parties to book out restaurants, and this OP made sure they'd have space for the party several months in advance. Unfortunately for OP, this restaurant is seemingly having issues with their staff, which is common with new establishments.
That's why some restaurants will hold "soft opening" weeks before they throw open their doors to the public. If you can get into a spot during its soft opening, you can get steep discounts on food. You just have to go in with the knowledge that your waiter might be fumbling to learn the menu, and the cooks are still perfecting the dishes.
This person did get some excellent petty revenge on this establishment that messed up the entire birthday party. Check out the entire story below. Then, this person's spouse has a food photography hobby, and she's hopping mad that the OP ate her food before she could snap some pictures.
