Here's one possibility:
"Please order your meal at the bar. It will be brought to your table
when ready. Enjoy your meal!"
The literal translation "Good appetite" is not used in English.
Cheers

But the French phrase "bon appetit" is quite widely used.

It always amuses me, when visiting Cyprus, to see the signs on entry to
towns and villages saying, in Greek and in English, "the [community of
xxxx] welcomes you" and then, on leaving the settlement, to read [in
Greek] Kalo Taxidhi with "Bon voyage" provided as the "English"
translation!
