If you have your heart set on a great dinner with your parents, and the Woodshed is a personal favorite, try this: When you make your reservation ask to speak to the owner(s). Express your concern about what you have heard lately, and tell them you are looking for a special time there on Christmas Eve. It may be little consolation after a poor showing, if that occurs, but at least you could reference your phone call and ask the owner for compensation and if it is not forthcoming, tell them very nicely that you won't be coming back and you certainly will tell others.
