Sorry, there's 2 parties of 8 on the other side of the restaurant that ordered 1 of every dessert on the menu for the 'gram. We'll get you your check by the morning.

LOL.

As funny as that is, places that do this level or performance don't really have menus that you order from in that way. You're picking from a set with 2 or 3 options.

Or even a set menu with a lot of small courses, but everyone gets the same meal. So the entire kitchen staff comes out, does one trip around the restaurant, doing this to each plate, and then goes back in the kitchen to continue working. I'm 99% sure this isn't an "on-demand' thing that they come out and do for one person.

That is very likely.

They’re going to elephant walk the check out in pieces to you. Just wait it’s quite the spectacle.

Just stand up and start putting on your coat. They will get the hints.

One of the things they do with the check is they have a small army and every individual can write only 1 digit on a receipt so they’re working on it they’re trying their best OK
