If you have never been to Joe's Crab Shack, they work hard at making a scene and act like they are throwing a big party. What was described fits perfectly with how they act.

However, celebrations like this are the reason my family has a standing rule that no restaurant is told when our birthdays are. None of us like the presentations so we avoid it all together. When we go out to celebrate a birthday, we want to celebrate as a family, not with the entire restaurant staff.
