It really seemed less expensive to order the family meal. It included sald, soup, appetizer and desert. We asked for the desert to be boxed for us becasue we were so full. If we had ordered ala cart it would have ran about 15-30 per meal(some things might have been a bit cheaper) . I do not think that included anything except maybe bread. So if you plan on eating light alacart would be ok but if you want salad and wither a desert, app. or soup it is cheaper to get the family meal.
