PLAN THE VISIT

A useful way to approach a shared meal is to think about contrast: something bright, something substantial, and a rice or noodle dish to anchor the table. Ask the restaurant which dishes suit the size of your party. When wine is part of the plan, describe what you like and a comfortable budget rather than feeling obliged to arrive with a particular bottle in mind.
