The food and service are always OUTSTANDING at The Odeon! Today, I want to call attention to our server's attention to detail, which was spot-on excellent! She must have observed my dining companion opening his birthday card, or overheard us talking....but when dessert arrived, it came with a lit birthday candle and heartfelt congratulations : ) THANK YOU!
