whispering canyon antics??????

I can't wait to try this place out. Sounds like Prime Time 50's on steroids.

They really embarrassed my son (who was 11, the last time we ate there)...first, they noticed he was cold and brought him a HUGE wool blanket and wrapped him in his 'blankie'...then he happened to glance to his right (at nothing in particular)......well there was a pretty girl about the same age sitting at the table to the right....the entire rest of the dinner, the servers were prodding him to just "Go for it and ask her out on a date"... then they tricked them into standing together to see if they would make a good couple and had the 'audience' vote on it....drilled them with obvious questions to prove they were 'made for eachother'...asked if either was married ......LOL, they also noticed he didn't have his 'blankie' on anymore and said something like "Alot warmer standing next to HER, huh?"...

Honestly, I was surprised at how well my son and the girl took it, they really handled it well for 'tweeners' (who are generally humiliated by breathing in public)...the wait staff was relentless!!...but it was all in good fun and we had a great time...

This restaurant is not for people who do not like attention. The more embarrassed you act, the more they ride you....If you cannot stand being 'on stage' or being the 'butt' of the joke, avoid the WC. It is all in fun, nothing ignorant...but it isn't for people who cringe at the thought of being singled out...

(Steve, I like your idea about asking ahead of time to be left alone, but I do wonder if that would make you a more likely target?)

A couple of years ago the waitstaff performed a shot-gun wedding (he was given a jacket to wear and she a wedding dress) between my 15 year old DS and a 21 year old girl in the restaurant. I have to tell you--it was way over done! The girl sat at our table and had to be spoon fed all of her food. My son was really humiliated (though he played along like a good sport). The girl was obviously a lot older than he and not too great looking... It just kept going on and on and on...I felt like it was a real intrusion of our meal. That particular son has made us promise never to go back there again for dinner. (We have had breakfast and lunch there since then.)
We have eaten at WCC many times and enjoyed the usual pranks. One of my sons had to run around the lobby on a wooden horse yelling, "I love my mama!" He was 12 at the time. That was pretty funny. Another time my 4 year old got to stand on a chair and lead the restaurant in singing the Hokey Pokey to celebrate his birthday.

You can request to be seated in the "quiet area" of the restaurant. During some meal times, this is actually a separate area from the main dining area. Other times, it is a copule of tables off to the side. The servers know these are "quiet" tables -- meaning the people would rather just observe than participate.

Also, I've noticed that the servers tend to be quite perceptive. If you are not really into the antics, they can sense that and may (note: MAY!!!) tone it back a little. That's not a guarantee, but I have observed it happen.

Anyway, it's all intended for fun. There's a sign at the entrance that warns you the place is loud and fun and that's the way they like it! Trust me -- they are NOT joking about the LOUD part.
