Garden Grill seating for large group

[mom2mek]

Could someone tell me what the seating is like for large groups at the Garden Grill in Epcot? We were there in 2002 with a group of 8 and I believe we had two booths on the lower level but I thought I remembered the two booths kind of being connected without the little wall between them. Like two tables with one long bench seat that kind of wrapped around both ends of the tables. Am I making sense? Am I remembering this wrong?

Anyways, this time we will have a group of 16 - possibly 18. Will they still seat us on the lower level (with the better views, IMO) or will be forced to sit on the upper level where tables are? Are the booths the way I am remembering because if so we could get 2 big booths? (We had 8 last time and sat all together in one big booth I'm pretty sure, so this time maybe just 2 big connecting booths?).

Now I need to go dig up those photos and see if I'm remembering it right.

Thanks.

We had 10 people when we ate there, 8 adults 2 children. We were on the top level, and they sat us at 1 big table. In my opinion I diddnt like the top level as much as the lower, because you dont get a good view of the ride.

We were 8 people last July and sat in the booth you described on the lower level. We had to request it though. These booths are very limited and I doubt that they have two beside each other. With 16 you'll have to split up with possibly not sitting near each other or be seated on the top level. I agree with you, I prefer the bottom level.
