SINGING WAITERS?

I am celebrating my 50-something birthday with 15 people this Sunday night. I would like to go somewhere casual and lots of fun. I thought of places like "The Great Greek", or perhaps a place with singing waiters. Does anyone know if that even exists? Anybody have any suggestions of a real fun spot for an adult birthday?

    Marouch has singing waiters. The Lebanese version of Happy Birthday is quite catchy.

      I think I would rather wear no pants, plastic underwear, and soleless shoes at a construction site, than encounter a singing waiter..

        not singing, but there's belly dancers at Marrakesh (moroccan). Dinner is served family style and you can reserve a private room. I really enjoy this place.

          You can also get belly dancers at Moun of Tunis in Hollywood. better food, too, IMHO

          You can go to the Thai Palms and see Thai Elvis!

            THAT sounds markedly better than singing waiters.

            Well done.

              dar maghreb, albeit more expensive, has belly dancers as well, and IMO is a lot nicer than mouns.

              detest this place but the waiters @ C&O seems to be always singing:

              personally, it annoys to no end...

                  That was my first thought -- followed by "I wonder if she means singing because that's part of the restaurant's schtick, or singing because they're hoping desperately to get discovered." If the latter, Miceli's is your goal.
