Seated With Others

What does "Seated with others" or "Fill-in Seating" mean?

Seating is limited in many of our special events due to their popularity. Thus, in keeping with railroad tradition, parties of two might be combined to sit together at a table of four. When seated with another couple, you and your guest will be seated on the same side of the table. Parties of four will always be seated at the same table. We seat parties together for special events such as Murder Mystery, Vintners Lunch, Wine Education Dinners, and Winery Tours.
