> · The Blue Cat

> This would be the best choice if you are interested in a dinner or a
> salad. Dinners would vary from around $13 to $20 as you go from a pasta to
> a steak. The Blue Cat has a full bar, but is also a micro brewery with its

> · Huckleberry's

> At this restaurant, we would have a sit-down pizza buffet. A variety of

> pizzas will be pre-selected. Huckleberry's also has a full bar. The
> total cost, including pizza, soft drink, and gratuity should be close to
> $15.

> · Rock Island Brewing Company (RIBCO)

> Probably the best choice if you're looking for a sandwich -- hamburgers,

> In order to plan for this event and to make reservations, I'm asking those

> Again, this is not a popularity poll to decide which of these restaurants
> we will go to in one big bunch. We need to break into three groups in
> order to keep from swamping these restaurants with a large group on a busy
> Friday night. Make your personal choice as to where you want to go and
> let me know. We will take off from the hotel at 5 PM and plan to leave
> the restaurants by 6:30.
