The problem with not reserving the back room is trying to seat a dozen or more in the same spot at noon on a Saturday. Might mention to the staff the advantage of not mingling reprobates with the respectable diners,......usually opens all doors to seclusion. Or closes all doors to public areas,......whatever.So it looks like Dec 16th at noon is the winner..looks like a possibility of 9 of us at this point. Don't think we need to reserve the backroom for this one.
And if that doesn't work you can always try the old standby,.....
"Nice place you have here,.....it'd be a shame if something were to happen to it"
