Yes it is, and I'm definitely in favor - the only issue is whether they'll be taken up by a private party, or if we'll be able to show up with a large group and get a table or get a reservation. Let's set a date and get a rough count (people can email me directly), and I'll call them and see what's up.

And if you want a table for XVI you can have one with a bust of the Pope in the center. When I was last there, I got the waiter to give me his plastic pocket protector. I propose it as a much jollier alternative to Chevy's.
