call St elmos's and see about a reservation for 20...then start a thread for that

Since this is my first GT run, what time should I target? I will happily make that call.

Just to be clear, I don't want to split the party, just explore options

I am volunteering do you guys know if volunteers get done around the same time as the run that night, also are non GT people allowed to come .

Volunteers will be done about when the GT run ends (many are done sooner). We have to vacate the premises by a certain time.

Non-GT people are welcome (I say that as a Non-GT volunteer who went last year).

Surf & Turf at St. Elmos is a bone-in rib-eye and a shrimp cocktail.... While I realize St. Elmo's does a classic aged steak that is very very good. It is not better that what I can do at home (still excellent). Their shrimp cocktail, on the other hand is out of this world. By far the best I've had. And it is mostly due to the sauce. It is spicy. If you don't like spicy, either learn to love it or don't order the the shrimp cocktail. I saw MULTIPLE orders of 6-packs of the sauce being bought... and we were in a dungeon not unlike the ones we were just in hours before. St. Elmo's is an experience.

And while St. Elmo's is surrounded by a ring of law enforcement officers each with a Spell of Protection from Evil 10', they are spaced 25' apart. So there are many 15' dashes involved... Be prepared to step over a few bodies...

I'm in

And once per lifetime is enough of the shrimp cocktail for me so I'm good

The shrimp cocktail is great. I usually get one with lunch at their sister restaurant - I think it's called Harry & Izzy's(?).

Last Call for a late steak dinner after the Golden Ticket run. I have moved the reservation to 9:30 and we have a cap at 20. Please see the reserved name list below.

We normally get a reservation for as early as possible. The GT even may get moved forward or backward, still waiting for a confirmation from Jeff. Right now I have us down for 9:30 PM at Ruth Chris and will adjust accordingly. Yes I know St Elmo's has great shrimp but I think the steak is better at Ruth Chris. They can accommodate between 10 and 20 easily so everyone is welcome. If you just want to come for appetizers or drinks that is fine.

Please remember to bring cash because they have a policy of one check for a large party and a suggested 20% gratuity.

Thanks!

If you have space I would like to be included. You can list me as Edwin. Thanks

Also, I would prefer a place that has items such as turtle soup, twice baked potatos and vegetables in addition to the meat options. Not big on Ruth Chris.

I'd like to go. Should be done with volunteering by then. Still vote for St. Elmo's.

I'm good going to Ruth's Chris and as I understand it Ed doesn't want to deal with the minimum required to get a group this big into St. Elmo's.
