Set up a suprise girls night out for my wife's 60th birthday. Met Amanda the maitre 'd beforehand to explan what I wanted. She executed it perfectly. Even the valet driver played a role in keeping it a secret. My wife and her friends had a blast. Anis is now one of my favorite places. Great service. Above and beyond. And food is excellent and relatively reasonably priced.
