NOT THAT:
Trying to decide on a place to eat at the last minute can lead to frustration, longer wait times and a hungry group. Don’t assume that everyone can or will eat the same things. Some of our restaurants offer vegetarian, vegan, and allergy menus. Knowing where they are is another reason thinking ahead comes in handy.
