Re: Christmas Dinner Restaurant Information
Spectrum at 10, 11, 12, 1, 4, 5, 6... doesnt matter. Parking is available but close? No way, not unless you get lucky and find a spot.
Worked right on the opposite side of the freeway for years, been there more times than I can count. This ad is not displayed to registered members.

Re: Christmas Dinner Restaurant Information
basically the service at Mimis was very good until the last 2 times. In Aug it was ok but the server was hopping tables too and not giving us the service I would expect.
The Oct meeting the service was awful and at least one item on the menu was not available due to lack of ingredients. And you had to plan ahead for drink refills.
One change I noticed on our part was not ordering until after the business meeting. I liked the previous dinners where we ordered then had the business meeting while the food was prepared.

Just a reminder I mentioned at the previous meeting that my daughter now works for Dave & Busters at the Irvine Spectrum. If we want to hold meetings there she can get us a free meeting room with video hook ups and free drinks of coffee, tea or soda. We pay for dinner that would be served in the room. Let me know.
Dave and Busters sounds good to us.

We vote yes on D&B.

Dave and busters is nice, but parking on a Saturday night at the Spectrum can be interesting

Re: Christmas Dinner Restaurant Information
If we go to the HB location, would there be interest in a "moonlight" cruise southbound on PCH afterwards?

Re: Christmas Dinner Restaurant Information
If you go to Irvine D&B count me in. Confirm Lisa and I. I usually eat at Javier's down there, but that is a bit more pricey.
I would suggest The block D&B for better parking- but either will work. I just valet at Spectrum.
I will be staying afterwards for drinks and pool also.

Absolutely! We are pretty informal around here so all you have to do is show up for a meeting, introduce yourself, and that's about it!
So, welcome!

Hopefully the 405 will be a little more forgiving this time around.
Thanks for confirming Troy.
