I really want to send some flowers to a special someone at work, but she is a manager at an upscale fine-dining restaurant. It is certain to be busy, and I don't want the flowers to be a distraction and disrupt the entire restaurant... Should I do it? Does good will intent help me here? haha

Maybe I read that wrong. Did you mean "a special person you happen to work with"? Or that you want to send them to a special person, while they are at work"?
I would say it is inappropriate. You know how busy it all is. If she's too busy to take calls ... It intrudes on the workplace, and if you don't know her well enough to ask her out, even out to lunch, then you really shouldn't send flowers or gifts to her workplace.
People who do that are really implying that they have some kind of understanding, and sending signals to her colleagues. Can't you wait & be introduced to them as her boyfriend? Why be so unsubtle, trying to stake a claim publically? I think it is a bit soon and will backfire as a move.

Personally, I would love it because everyone would see. I would be happy to have such a personal display of affection. Depends how long you two have been together though, whether she would take this as too much or not. Perhaps you could also request the flowers to be sent at a slower time of day, say between lunch and the evening meal...so as not to disrupt things as much.
Hope it works out for you! What a sweet idea. :)

You could try to time your delivery for times when the floor is slower. Does the restaurant serve lunch? If not, ask your florist to deliver in the first half-hour of the dinner seating.

No at all! In fact, that wonderful woman of yours will get plenty of attention as people take a moment from running about to make a bit of a fuss over her. You're in for big brownie points, buster!

I don't see that that would be much of a distraction. The hostess will receive them and take them or have them taken back to the office. No big deal.

That is a very sweet, women like flowers especially if she get it by surprise.

i think it would be sweet to do something like that, but if you are having some doubts than you might want to wait till after her shift is over or meet her some wher else.
