"As we mark our 50th year, we're doubling down on our commitment to being the go-to destination for life's celebrations, whether it's a romantic Valentine's Day dinner or a casual happy hour with friends."The brand's evolution and growth initiatives have positioned it for continued success as it kicks off its anniversary year.
