Yes always open for new restaurant Ideas. But they need to meet some requirements
1) needs to accommodate a large group
2) needs to allow us to stay after the meal is over
3) table should be set-up so that you can be involved in more than just the conversation with the person next to you (not a deal breaker)
4) can't be ultra high end or expensive.
This is why we tend to be at pubs a lot. They don't mind lingering guests
