You know they’re probably just gonna say “yeah” (or the occasional “I haven’t tried it, but I hear it’s good”), but one of these days someone’s gonna say “oh no, don’t get that, everyone hates that” and it’ll all be worth it
largely depends on the restaurant bc when they stop serving food and when they kick folks out isn’t standardized across the entire industry, if it feels like you’re cutting it close i’d make a courtesy call and let the staff decide, because if they have a heads up and say they’ll still seat you it isn’t a dick move
otherwise for sure lol
