We have gluten free in our family. She got a yummy grilled chicken and a bunch of sides. I think her meal was the best at the table.
Balcony seating on the sides is one long table (seating is on the both sides of the table, so the railing side needs to turn around from the table to see the show). So, no problem with larger parties going across multiple sections of the table. You just might have a gap between tables to get through to the other side, that could separate your party. But, it's a narrow gap.
