Sanaa Question

[gstonelake]

I have reservations for dinner at Sanaa, but partner and I just want bread service (large order with all accompaniments) and drinks. We had the full dinner in past, but bread service was so yummy, we were too full to eat anything else (wasting most of it). Is this acceptable, or will we be “frowned” at for taking up a table?

I think Sanaa is rarely fully booked, so I wouldn't worry about it. Even if it was, you aren't under any obligation to order more food than you can eat. That said I'm pretty sure you can get the bread service in the lounge if you feel that uncomfortable about it!

We went to the lounge to do just that, but others have reported dining in the restaurant for drinks and bread service. (I was curious, too!). I don’t think it’s an issue because the restaurant usually has open tables anyway. Enjoy! That bread service is so yummy!!!

You can do that in the restaurant or lounge. you won't be frowned at in either location.

This has actually become popular. Do it how you wish.

Thanks for the idea. I have a ressie there.

We rarely do more than the bread service (and perhaps a salad or cup of soup) and a couple of glasses of wine. Perfectly acceptable.

My DD and I in May did just bread service (14accomp) and split a dessert for lunch. We knew we didn't want to get too full with dinner plans and waitress said very common. We had to save room for the candy bar dessert!

That's all DD gets there. I need a little more - so I usually order the kids butter chicken. It's the perfect meal
