How does SDP work for a la carte resteraunts

[BenDover]

Just booked my 1st NCL cruise on Epic. I know I want to eat 3 times at speciality restaurants so the SDP makes sense. But how does it work with A la carte restaurants like Cagney's

Tell the host/hostess who seats you that you are using SDP. Then you order as many appetizers and sides and desserts as you want but just one entree. No matter what the bill adds up to, they will zero it out.

Thanks - that was what I was hoping. Quick follow-up question: Is the 18% service charge applied when I purchase the SDP or am I charged a service charge at the restaurant?

18% added when bought or received as a promo.
