Plus then you'll have a nice little keepsake menu too :) We did a combination of cheese platters, wings and crudite for apps, then a limited 4 option menu- it’s much easier for you and I think your guests too, as it saves them the stress of wondering- is this ok to order?

That worked great, and I imagine it makes it easier for the restaurant to ensure the food comes out at the same time and that they don't run out of anything, since they know which 6 (or how ever many) things your whole party will be ordering.I also think it can work to order big trays of food in a variety that you think will please your crowd. I guess it depends if this is that kind of restuarant or not. My mom and I have been throwing around the idea of a dinner at a casual place in Little Italy with a few different pretty platters of pasta.I'm sure whatever you decide will be great!
