Everything was fine, as usual, but we went to Wildfire yesterday, and inadvertently got the scratch off number for Big Bowl. Our waitress helped us find the correct scratch off , and told us we could use the Big Bowl one the next day (today) at Big Bowl. To be sure, we called the restaurant before we dined here today, and we were told we could use yesterday’s code today. This was not true, and we are hoping that Big Bowl’s manager could resolve this issue tomorrow when Lettuce Corporate is open. We are Gold members and have not used any scratch off for Big Bowl.

We were celebrating our 30 wedding anniversary as we mentioned when we booked. No one recognized our milestone. A glass of champagne would have bern nice or complimentary dessert. Nope. Nothing.
