One of our local favorites does these fantastic wine dinners w/ a six course tasting menu. It usually sells out within hours of it's announcement (typically 6 weeks in advance). There was literally 40% no show at the one before last.

Flip side is the restaurants you frequent are super appreciative if you give them heads up when something comes up and tend to treat you very well when you are in.
