Venue change?

[dunke...@lavabit.com]

There have been some requests to move the munches to somewhere other than
The King and I. In order to do that, we need some suggestions on where
else to go. We want a place that fits most or all of these criteria:

* Relatively centrally located (shouldn't be terribly inconvenient for
people coming from Greece or Fairport)
* Takes reservations
* Can seat a large group together in the same area without having an
advance headcount
* Separate checks
* Doesn't require everyone to order food
* Can give us a consistent area of the restaurant each time
* Has passable food options for those on restricted diets (vegan, no-carb,
etc)

Places that have already been considered:

* The Distillery (doesn't do reservations on Sundays due to football)
* Buffalo Wild Wings (again, football)
* India House (hours don't work)
* Outback Steakhouse (bad reviews)

Jay's Diner is available as a fallback option, but I'd like to avoid it
since many of us are going there pretty often as it is. We'll stick with
The King and I for the September munch, so that we have adequate time to
discuss and vote on whether/where to move. I'll call and talk to them
about some of the issues we had.

Also, not too pricey and preferably out of the busiest places in Rochester just to preserve privacy and prevent overcrowding. King and I was decently priced and has a good location.

See here for options:

Some alternatives besides dining

La-Tea-Da

Equal Grounds (has games, LGBT friendly and has a nice area for <20 people)

Some rented space and we each chip in and bring our own food/drinks to share?

While still really pricey in my opinion...20 dollars for lunch? Really? I had just as much trouble finding a suitable place for the TNG munches without them having to be at jays...Ryan suggested a BBQ place? Decently priced, lot of options, room for larger groups...say like Sticky lips

La-Tea-Da unfortunately doesn't have much room for large groups that I saw

I might be remembering wrong, but i'm pretty sure la-tea-da is closed on Sundays, regardless. And yeah, there's no way we'd fit in there.
