Is it still possible to eat in the lounge area without an ADR?
 
It wasn't possible when I was there mid-July. The lounge side of the restaurant was converted into regular dining to help with spacing and capacity. We even got the run-around for asking if we could sit at the bar before dinner (Which we were able to, but it apparently threw every person working there for a loop o_O)
 
I was there on July 25th. The entire lounge has been removed. Like the low tables and the lounge chairs are not there at all (not just not being used, they were completely removed).

I also didn't see anyone at the bar, so I thought that wasn't operating, but someone said more recently that there are still a few chairs and they were allowed to sit at the bar. So, I would highly recommend an ADR if you want to eat at CG. The food was really good!

I can confirm two sets of two bar seats. I asked and the check-in CM confirmed they were for couples at first come basis. They were occupied both times we went for our reservations.
