We are a party of 9 going in september will they put us in cars or at the picnic tables?? I really do not care if we are seperated but I would like the kids to sit in cars for the experience of it!
I would book two separate reservations. Since you don't mind if you are split up. When you check in, just say you are two parties that would love to be seated as close as possible. Otherwise, you will probably get stuck out of a car.
We have went as a party of 10, party of 11, party of 16, party of 17. With an ADR, we have always been seated in cars. They are not always side by side but they do try to get them close together.
