I'm going to call the restaurant when they open at 11AM. There is a long bench section along one wall where prior groups have been sat, I'll ask if there is room.

Stay tuned.

No worries, looking like it would likely be a no-go for me anyway.

Thanks SW. Wow! When you organize a DO, people come from as far away as the UK.

I believe most folks enjoyed their dishes, I was pleased with mine but felt that they didn't shine as well as when I've been there with a smaller group. I think maybe the small kitchen was a bit overwhelmed with 14 orders at once, plus the restaurant was much more busy on a Thurs night than I would have guessed.

That said, always good to have a dinner when holmedown comes to town and seeing as FriendlySkies decided to fly in as well was terrific.

fun time, glad everyone could make it, even a new face!

Thanks Willie for organizing. I had a wonderful time - far too long since I've talked to FriendlySkies. Also I met some new fun people to possibly get together with downtown. All the best to the marathoner who was their.

I figured out why I don't remember recommending this place. Since I had never been there it could not have been from personal experience so I must have seen it on "Check Please" and was salivating.

Thanks again to all.

Thanks again Sweet Willie for organizing the get together. It was a pleasure meeting you and the other attendees. I'm looking forward to the next opportunity to grab food and drinks with everyone.
