This thread isn't meant to be a controversy but when a bunch of folks want to be involved ALL sorts of opinions. I have no issue with Habenaro's. Think of it this way---wonder if a whole group had decided to go there and showed up. The establishment "might" have appreciated a head-count but it was "last minute"---so they would accomodate. I think whomever is the organizer, YOU can decide and those that want to show up does. I would do it and gladly order take-out. As an aside to this...a few years back a group that met regularily asked Panera for their meeting room. It was understood that many would order food while there. Eventually Panera changed things and said "you can have the room BUT you will need to pre-order (ie. their catering option) to do it and you need a certain number to do this too. We changed our meeting place. IF Habanaros ends up not being viable, THEN decide a different place (together).
