To all that have posted interest.
Last year's restaurant could only hold a limited # of attendees, as you can imagine trying to find a restaurant to hold as large a group as what has currently show interest to attend, is not an easy task. Combine this with our group would be family or buffet style (cheap) and it makes for a less profitable Saturday night for a restaurant.
I've had two deals at larger Chinese venues fall through and my guess is when they did the math, they would be giving up money by taking our group as opposed to their normal Saturday night business.
So sorry to report but the dinner will not happen this year.
I'll post a listing of restaurants that I'd recommend going to that are close to the host hotel.
