We stopped in there two Saturdays ago, at 10:45 p.m., with about 40 people, including most of the female leads in the Fox Lane Middle School musical, which opened that night (You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown). We had called earlier in the day, so they knew we were coming. Still it could have been chaos. Fifteen or so adolescent girls, 25 parents, all of them buzzed from a terrific opening night, all of the kids hungry, all of the adults wanting a drink. The staff was perhaps slightly disorganized in gettig our orders, although probably this was because we insisted on separate checks for each of the nine families, none of whom were sitting together. When the girls finished their desserts, they went into the lounge to dance and, when the trio that was playing heard who they were, they invited two of the leads (the girls who played Lucy and Sally) to take the piano and mic for a song. All in all it was warm and friendly. Based on that night alone, I'd go back for a meal.
