Ok, here's the update:
I tried making reservations at Frontera Grill, but the eariest time that they had was 8:30pm

. So, I've gone to my second choice and made reservations for eight people (and it looks like it could easily be bumped up if needed) at the following:
7pm
Emilio's Tapas Sol y Nieve
215 E. Ohio Street (east of Michigan)
312-467-7177
Current attendees are:
mjm
ElmhurstNick
bbinchi
Comicwoman
iluv2fly
dmfriedman
In addition, we may have an out-of-town FT guest, but I won't know for sure if she can attend for another couple of days. I booked the eighth seat because a table of 7 or 8 is the same table, so why not think positive!
