So as mentioned, I think Le Central would be an excellent choice for
our first dinner session. Opened in 1974, it was the first French
bistro in San Francisco, and former mayor Willie Brown is known to be
a big fan, among others. When I send guests there from my hotel
(WorldMark, on the corner of Bush and Stockton), they usually enjoy it
greatly.
Here is a link to some more info, including a menu, etc.
www.lecentralbistro.com
(Their roast chicken w/ pomme frites are supposedly To Die For.)

Now, to get the ball rolling: below are the days and times I'm
available in the coming week to dine. Let's try to find one that works
for everyone!

Friday 11/20: from 4pm on
Sat 11/21: from 4pm on
Sun 11/22: only before 3pm
Mon 11/23: any time before 11pm
Tue 11/24: any time before 11pm
Wed 11/25: ALL DAY
Thu 11/26: from 4pm on
Fri 11/27: ALL DAY

Let's see what we can work out! Looking forward to it!

I should correct myself: I am completely open to a LUNCH date as well
as dinner, if that works better with peoples' schedules. In fact, I
really love breakfast and especially BRUNCH dates as well, I used to
have a little group I'd brunch with weekly when I lived in Portland
and I kind of miss that.

Sounds like a great place!

I am available weekdays after 6pm and weekends at pretty much anytime. The only days that might be issues for me are Mondays and Thursdays. I too love a good weekend brunch :)

I want to let you all know I recruited a friend from work to join the group as well. Her schedule is very similar to mine, we both get off work at 6pm.

Looking forward to our first meal...

Excellent!
Good Taste: WE RECRUIT
Let's try to make it a dinner date for Le Central, then. I can do
pretty much any day EXCEPT Sunday for dinner.

Well I'm unsure if you guys received my response, so here it is again.

I could work with any of the times you proposed starting on Tuesday. I will be just getting back to SF tomorrow and will have a house guest until Monday and so much to do around the house getting re-settled. Anyway, hopefully you all can wait for me, lunch or dinner is fine although I kinda prefer dinner but will defer to whatever works for the majority.

Looking so forward to this,
+Jennifer

I could do Friday or Monday but have the TG holiday taking over my week next week. Not sure if that presents a problem or not. Usually though I can do evenings and weekends like Amanda. Looking forward to it!

Actually unless Monday works out I may have to meet up after TG. Tis the season. Let me know what you guys do though in case I can adjust next week.

So it looks like Monday might work for everyone except Jennifer. Any
chance you could do a Monday night dinner, maybe around 8pm or so,
Jennifer? I have to be at work just up the street at 11pm (graveyard
shift), so the later the better, for me.
Once we establish a time I can make us a reservation!

Possibly, I'm unsure when my guests will leave, I will find out when I
get in tomorrow and let you know Friday after my internet is connected.

I'm in the same predicament as Leslie - unless we meet Monday, I'll
have to wait and meet up after Thanksgiving. No worries, however,
really looking forward to meeting you all - regardless of the time or
date.

I'd love to get one session in before the holidays sweep us all away!
(And don't get me wrong...I love the holidays and am a Christmas nut.)
So, do we have a fairly general consensus that 8pm Monday at Le
Central would work? I'd love it! Even just three or four people is
fine for a first dinner, we just started after all. But I may have
another person or two who will come as well.

The more the merrier! I'd like to have a more or less official head
count by Sunday evening, I'll make the reservation then.

Aww, well, we'll miss you, but stay in the loop and we'll try to get
together again in December, if that's possible with the onslaught of
the holidays!

I just wanted to reiterate for the final head count that I am bringing two people, for a total of three including myself. See you all tomorrow!

So I'm not sure whether Jennifer and Renee are coming, but assuming
they are, it looks like for dinner tomorrow night we'll have:

Tony +1
Jennifer
Leslie
Renee
Amanda + 2

So I'm making a reservation for 8 for tomorrow night, 8pm at Le
Central, 453 Bush Street. See you all there I hope! The reservation
will be under the name LETIGRE, my last name.

I thought I wasn't going to be able to make it, but I'm suddenly free--
is it ok if I stop by tonight? If there's no room, I'd definitely be
interested in the next outing.

So...tonight was fun though haphazard, that's how things usually are
when they're just starting, though. Let's make a date again soon!
Maybe a brunch date in a couple weeks or so? Before Christmas?

Thank you everyone for a fun first meet-up last night! I had a bit too
much beaujolais I'm afraid. If anyone wants to post a review of Le
Central feel free! I liked my fettucine, but was so swept up in being
social I didn't even pay as much attention to the food and ambiance as
I meant to. Next time...
