"Certainly!" The saronged hostess replies, taking a paper note. "Do you have a preferred grouping? We have sushi, spellwork, carnivore, omnivore, insectivore and herbivore sampler platters. Even a few live ones!"

"...alright then...right this way." The stout saronged woman nods, gracefully, leading them out to the breezy patio, before seating them and handing them their menus. "What would you like to drink while you wait? We have a lovely wine selection..."

"No wine...but I think a Thunderhead club soda will suffice."
