Please share with us!

So far we have used restaurants that are willing to give separate (couple) checks to keep things simple.  So each host will need to ask that question to the restaurant they are choosing, unless they can figure a way to simplify one check for all.

Using a restaurant that has a more private space for us gives us a way to communicate, introduce new guests and play games that get us better acquainted.  Timbuktu last time turned out to be too noisy (from the music) and we were not in a private enough area to play get-acquainted games like we did first time at Blue Pete's.  Getting out on the boardwalk was nice, though!

Things our group may need to discuss are:

Menu price range preferred

Time:  (I discovered in calling that some spouses don't get home from work early enough to join us at 6:00 p.m.  So far we have met at 6 each time, but at Timbuktu it was to take advantage of early bird specials and their lower prices.  Most restaurants' early bird specials are over AT 6 p.m.

Willingness to meet on Sat. nights occasionally to include spouses who work out of town during the week

Hope the next host can use the above info I learned from taking a turn at hosting.
Also, contacting the restaurant and reserving the room/space at least two weeks before the date might be safer than waiting till the last moment and being disappointed that they are booked.

I loved the 'House Show'....and the information on the bottom, even the automatic response to the Host/Hostess for the month.
