Should I do anything else?

I normally don't ask for advice in these situations, but I'm confronted with a time constraint.

My mom had made reservations for Champagne brunch on last Sunday, and my Godparents, who I hadn't seen in 13 years, were also going to be there for a party of four, to celebrate my 21st b-day.

Well, we arrive at 12:25 for 12:30 reservations. We are told it will be another 15 minutes. SO we wait. In the meantime, numerous tables of five and six were constantly being called ahead of us.

By 1:15 Pm, my mom was pretty pissed, and all the hostesses would say is that "we were next", then would call other parties. Well, three parties later, and my Godfather went up to the hostesses, and they totally blew us all off. So my mother and G-parents made somewhat of a scene and left. I didn;t feel like continuing with the meal, so I went home in disgust.

There was no reason for us to be ignored and disrespected like that (and I don't wanna think what I'm thinking even though there can be no other explaination). My mother called the restaurant a couple hours later, and the manager even ADMITTED their conduct was wrong, but all my mom did was tell him that her work (who hold a big luncheon there every year) would not be doing business with them again and hung up.

I honestly don't think we were compensated for what we went through. That was my favorite place to eat (we go there on Mother's day, Easter, etc), and I was celebrating my most important b-day in a while with family I hadn't seen in years. And they're very lucky I didn't deal with the way I wanted to when we were there, cause I don't wanna go to jail.

So, tommorow will be Tuesday. Should I myself be able to call the restaurant and try to get something further out of this? This isn't the first altercation we've had with the restaurant (last yr, a waitress made us stay there an extra hour to clear a wrongdoing with the check). I wanna explain to them things my mom didn't that they need to be aware of because of their disrespect, but on the other hand, is this one of those cases of tough shit and just move on?

BTW, though this is all 100% serious, I'd like to make the point that I'm running on 3 40s of Mickey's.
