arrival dinner idea

[Faelin McCaley Landy]

I absolutely adore that cooking style! +1 for sure!

However, looking at the venue, they seem to have very limited seating (I'd
estimated between 60 and 80 seats, maybe as many as 120). I tried to call,
but got no answer, so I'll try again later. If the venue can't handle the
load of a full arrival dinner, maybe we could make this the anti-arrival
dinner? After all, they can do vegetarian! Or maybe make it the arrival
anti-dinner, for those who get in early enough for lunch. Mostly, I just
want an excuse to eat Mongolian barbecue! :D
