I've been able to get into the kitchen, make a distraction, and get to the banquet hall before the serving girls, but it still won't let me take the picture. I've already talked to the bartender and the baker as much as I can.

Try a number of different combinations, its a bit tricky and you can't just take it off the wall. It can take a while.

To know this has happen, you'll get an option like, "Take the picture of the Metamorphic ring of the wall". Then, you can go back and do the sequence. You only have a limited number of turns until the girls come back out. So if you can go northwest instead of north then west, do so. Good luck!
