We are staying at the Hilton on Sunday 24th May when we get back from Paihia...allowing for a late arrival and time for a refreshing shower, we plan to have dinner at Euro restaurant at 8pm. The menu is listed in the link below, and the prices are on the high side so may not be suitable for everyone...if anyone else wants to join us, please PM so we don't clog this thread up. I can book online for up to 10 people, otherwise a phone call will be needed.

I suspect we will be around Sunday night.
How high is the "high side" priced place?
Given the dollars are at parity right now, well worth asking.
In general OzFest Sunday nights are a group casual dinner, somewhere quite central, at somewhere the organisers suggest and pretty well priced.
Not sure if our local organisers have offered a suggestion?

Thanks Kevin, overlooked the link.
~$50 a main course with vegetables for 3 mouthfuls of meat, and ~$60 a bottle for basic wine, so probably $250+ a couple with starter and coffee/dessert etc.
We eat locally at that local place you know for way under a quarter that, but have no idea of what else is around Sundays, and other price points - others might have some input perhaps? Maybe everything is around that level there ... not sure.
You are right, so far our local members have not suggested anything else as far as I know, but the month is young.
In general if 20-30 folks are booking on a quieter night, a decent deal can be done if some checking around is done. I can recall booking some set piece dinner for various ozfests at ~$50-$60 a head type levels, including house drinks etc.

Also, looking a bit further on the menu shows some very acceptable set menus at not stratospheric prices. If a large group were willing to reserve one of those for everyone, something might be negotiated off the price.

I guess we have been slacking on organizing a casual dinner Sunday night. 
I've been a bit more focused finalizing the other details.
I am tweaking my more finalized agenda to be posted along with the registration form.
