If you don't drink alcohol - don't be afraid to ask for a non-alcoholic pairing!
Worst they can say is "no can do".
The one time I asked, it turned out that our server was ~30 years sober himself, and asked their bartender what they could do.
What they could do was, a variety of alcohol-substitute drinks, mixes of spices that didn't replace wine, but achieved the same culinary role, and custom dry cocktails. Drinks that, given the description, I never would have ordered. Drinks that, by themselves, didn't do what I thought a beverage did. It was amazing.
