You'll need to ask your server. If they are busy, they might not be able to accommodate you. The same is true for sitting in the bar and ordering from the dining menu. It is possible when they aren't too busy, but not guaranteed.

We asked to do that on a busy night and it was no problem. And our food came super quick!
Yup
