>
> 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

> ·        Huckleberry's

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

> pieces.  This will not be an all-you-can-eat affair, and the type of 
> pizzas will be pre-selected.  Huckleberry's also has a full bar.  The

> ·        Rock Island Brewing Company (RIBCO)

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

> to stay away from.  RIBCO is a micro brewery with a selection of its own

> live bands, though we will be too early for that.  A sandwich, soft drink, 
> and gratuity should be around $15.

> 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.
