When we went to Prima Italiano for my wife's birthday last Fall, there was a box on the on-line reservation site asking if it was a special occasion.
I typed in "My wife's birthday" and there was a "Happy Birthday" sign on our table and they offered a free dessert...
Did I expect it? No. Was it appreciated? Most certainly...

Nice replay ! Actually, surprised there are still people around who don't realize how many retail businesses give a "birthday" and anniversary recognition as part of their public awareness advertising ! ? From a free doughnut to a dip of ice cream with the purchase of one dip, it's amazing how many little rewards one gets during the birthday month. Shopping at Fresh Market three days ago, at check out I put in my rewards points number, and clerk said, "Oh, did you know you can go to the bakery area and get a slice of the "ultimate birthday cake" free since you have a birthday this month. It was YUM.... LOL !
