Hi! I am organizing a little gathering for a family member. 15 people or thereabouts. I would like to reserve a space at a restaurant or cafè. The vibe & cuisine I am looking for is similar to Chez Lulu, semi-casual with a vibe and options for small plates & snacks. Cozy and friendly. Unfortunately, I am pretty sure they don't have a separate area I can reserve. Any recommendations?

P.S. It would have to be an inside area, as the age group of the gathering would find this heat prohibitive. I appreciate all suggestions.

I am completely unfamiliar and uninitiated to any of these practices and traditions. However, I am dealing with a difficult situation involving a family member. I have reason to believe Maa Baglamukhi would be the appropriate source of help. I know enough not to try to do anything myself, as a complete novice. I live in the US. Looking online, I simply cannot tell which services are legitimate, who is overcharging, etc. I would appreciate any advice, guidance, recommendations. Thank you!

This is going to make it so much harder and more expensive for late-night venues to operate. Is there a way to protest it?
