There was a show (can't remember what) that interviewed the owner and she said they pick the postcards that most appeal to them.....so folks that want to propose or something special like that, have higher odds of getting a table.

This here, saw the same show. It's not a random pick of the card; it's catching their eye.

They actually strip down all the cards and run it through a lottery machine.

"Cards with poems, recipes, stories, and drawings all get shoved into a lottery machine to be drawn at random, and even though that essentially renders all the cards’ artistry meaningless"

It's a fixed menu with no substitutions, expensive as hell, and in the middle of nowhere in Freedom.

It really isn't worth it.
