Chicago Mini Meet & Greet

Based on the responses from the last post, we are thinking that a good time and date will be June 20th 5:00pm at the Cheesecake Factory in Oak Brook. We can do shopping before or after and people don't have to change their regular Saturday night plans. Please voice opinions here - nothing is set in stone.

Also, if you know lurkers or people that don't frequent the board much in the area please reach out to them so they know about the meet and greet.

Voice your opinion on what restaurant you prefer

Cheesecake Factory
Wildfire
Pappadeaux
Weber Grill

 

Great. Thanks for the heads up I'll be sure to keep that day free.

I am looking forward to seeing everyone again.

Hey Amanda - can we meet for an early dinner - rather than a late lunch?  Also, another restaurant suggestion - Wildfire; they have a nice ambience and serve great martinis, etc. (and not too many children).

Can we take a vote on restaurants in the Oakbrook area, rather than being stuck to just the Cheesecake Factory? 

Here are suggestions:

Cheesecake Factory
Wildfire (www.wildfirerestaurant.com)
Pappadeaux (located about a mile south of Oakbrook Shopping Center, on Route 83)
Weber Grill (Lombard...just west of the mall)

Oh - the date sounds great - this is my birthday weekend!

Thanks for organizing the event - I am looking forward to seeing everyone again.

Hey DD, what time do you suggest? I am good with any time. We can definitely take a vote on restaurants.

Well...I think for a Saturday afternoon...folk have shopped all day...it's summer...how about 5:00. And if we decide on Wildfire or Pappadeaux...it's best to make reservations.

DD

Oh...I vote Wildfire!  Pappadeaux my 2nd choice.

I am good with 5, editing my post to include choices of restaurants.

Hey Amanda! The 20th works for me.

Hey Sharee, so you and DD prefer Wildfire... I have never been there before, was checking out the website though, it looks interesting.

Hey Amanda!

This sounds like fun.  I can't wait to meet you all.  As long as it's not the Cheesecake Factory, I don't care which of the restaurants.
