Ooo, fun one! Sadly (or happily) 10/17 will have me somewhere around Skopje, so I won't be able to join. Have fun, all!

France/Reunion Dinner 10/17 Updates - 8:30 dinner time, family-style menu
 

Hi everyone! Just a few updates for next Friday's France/Reunion dinner:

• Reservation needs to be moved to 8:30pm due to space availability. We can meet up in the neighborhood somewhere beforehand if anyone is around earlier.
• Dinner will be family-style (see menu below) at $65/person + gratuity. This is required for groups of 8 or more.
  • Also note on the menu we have to make selections from the available options, so if you have any preferences for or against specific dishes, please let me know so I can consider those before making our menu choices.
• Corkage is available at $25/bottle
• Headcount needs to be finalized 72h beforehand, so please let me know by Tuesday if you can't make it for some reason.

We still have seats available if you'd like to join!

The good news is that it looks great! That's a nice menu.

The bad news is that I have an early morning the next day :( So I am out for this one.

Perhaps I'll make an appearance at pre-dinner festivities...

We’re going to back out given the time change, but hope to see you again soon! I’m having difficulty editing the wiki—can try again later.

all good, i've edited it for you. hope to see you at the next one!

Looks great, we'll make it some day!

Great idea! Would love to attend but unfortunately out of the city this weekend. Next time!

last call for Friday dinner! need to confirm headcount with the restaurant today. still plenty of seats open

We're all set for 11 people on Friday night! If anyone else becomes available between now and then, let me know and I can reach out to Maloya to see if they can accommodate any changes to headcount, but no promises there.

Since we're eating later than originally planned, let's set King's County Brewers Collective (aka KCBC) as the official pre-dinner meetup spot. This is just off the Jefferson L stop, and about a 15 min walk from the restaurant. I'll aim to be out there ~6:30 and hang until it's time to head to dinner.

No need to be on the dinner list to come join us at KCBC! And the brewery is also a Resy restaurant if any of you need to use your Q4 Amex credit ;)
