I'm always excited to try new cuisine while dining out. So, when a restaurant serves up family-style, I'm all for it. I love getting a few plates to share, since it means I get to sample more of the menu. Plus, the atmosphere seems more relaxed and intimate. Still, I have friends who totally disagree; they're a little choosier with their meal selections and don't like having to compromise their order to appeal to a bigger group. What do you think? Is family-style something you enjoy?
