Curious sfiecke, were they aware of the coupon before you ordered? I have learned the hard way to always put the coupon or dining cards on the table when ordering to avoid ordering the 'wrong' thing.

The only real problem I've ever had when doing that was when Sabroso was here in Shakopee. The BOGO card sat at the edge of the table before we ordered and throughout the entire meal. After, the waiter tried to refuse the card stating that the appetizer wasn't an entree (Duh, but we figured he should have told us that then since the card was out in plain view). I really started to gripe and he then said ok and honored the card anyway.

Regardless, hopefully it doesn't happen again, and that sucks, as Mediterrenean Cruise Cafe is a great place!

As I often do, I looked inside my Happenings coupon book on Wednesday night to decide where to go with my friend for supper. We settled on the Mediterrenean Cruise Cafe in western Eagan, which I had been wanting to try and there was a buy-one dinner entree, get one free coupon good for up to $10.
