Sorry for the change of date but there is a conflict on Friday night. Hope noone minds changing to Saturday evening and can still make it.

We're going fusion this month!

Wild East Asian Bistro is an incredible restaurant on Las Olas Boulevard...
We are in the process of trying to put a menu together - but to be quite honest, there are 150 items on the menu...and it is all really reasonable.

We might just try to go open menu on this one and see how it goes. I just have to make sure with the restaurant management it is OK to go with seperate checks. The other option is to request everyone brings CASH to make it easy.

Please send your comments on the following -
Should we go open menu?
Willing to pay cash?
Anyone freaked out it being Friday the 13th :) - just joking.

We are not making MAYBE options available anymore, and asking everyone again to please NOT RSVP YES unless you are 100% sure you are coming. You can always change your mind up to one hour in advance - just PLEASE have the courtesy of calling/writing if your plans have changed. It is not fair to the restaurants, or the people attending, to be inconvenienced by holding tables, waiting for people not coming, or be sat at seperate tables because more people were expected.

A little more on Wild East can be found at the website below.

OK - a little change in plans, but oh so well worth it!

3030 Ocean Chef Dean Max has put together an awesome menu for out next dine out! The only request - a 20 person maximum...so PLEASE be very courteous if you RSVP Yes and change your mind by calling ahead or changing your RSVP online.
All those on the Maybe list you are encouraged to change your slection to Yes or No to free up space. Call me at (954) 205-8754 or email ari@ravpr.com and we'll let you know if there have been any cancellations

Look forward to seeing everyone again!

Because we are hosting our dinner on a Friday night it would be much appreciated for an accurate RSVP count be given to the restaurant. If you register as a "YES" and decide not to come please call me at (954) 205-8754 at least an hour before dinner is scheduled. In as much, if you register as "Maybe" and decide to come, please call as well. Friday nights are hard to come by at a busy restaurant and prime time even out of season. Thank you!
