Sorry for all the questions
You are correct in that the lounge is airside while your bags will be delivered to baggage claim landside. If you don't pick them up then someone from AA baggage
should grab them and have them by the AA baggage office.
After you have dinner, it could be as easy as walking down to baggage claim and picking them up from right out front of the office and you're in a taxi 5 mins later. Or you could get to the baggage office and there's 20 people in line, a grumpy agent who says they dont have your bags and you haven't filled put the correct lost luggage form, etc., and it takes an hour to get sorted. YMMV.
