I called ahead and they do have a larger back seating area for us. Comment in your RSVP if you would like to dine in or take out to know for seating.

If your time in limited on a Friday night, you could order take out and just say hi to the group as you pick up to go. Enjoy at your leisure or find a place to picnic. If you plan to do take out, comment To Go in your RSVP.

If dining in, I will need to finalize the count for the table the week before. The larger table seats in the back, so if you don’t see us up front- we will be there. I will put out the Social Connect sign on the table.
