AITA for leaving a bad review on a diner and ruining the waitress' life just because she was "complementing" my husband's eyes?

The night, intended to be filled with laughter and love, was shadowed by the unsettling gaze and brazen remarks of a waitress whose inappropriate attention pierced the festive air.
Despite her resolve to maintain peace and dignity, the moment shattered when the waitress leaned in with a chilling whisper that ignited a storm of emotions.
Her confrontation was met with smug defiance, leaving her isolated and judged amidst the silent scrutiny of her in-laws, turning a cherished occasion into a night she wished to erase.
