>     dine "family" style, and split up the costs, and typical cost per
>     person including tax and tip (but not including beverages beyond
>     complementary tea) would be in the $16.00 to $23.00 range, and
>     commonly around $18.00 to $22.00.  Cash preferred to ease splitting
>     up the check.  One can also specifically order the dish(es) one
>     needs/prefers (e.g. for dietary considerations) - and we also
>     commonly order some dish(es) that may meet various dietary
>     considerations) (e.g. vegetarian, non-pork, ...).  Please arrive by
>     7:00 P.M., we expect to order entrees at that time, and may order
>     appetizer(s) and/or soup(s) anytime after 6:30 P.M.
