Very good point. We would want a place with good food and quiet enough
to enjoy each others company without straining our ears.

Here is another thought. With so many locations mentioned so far, perhaps
one or two of you in Mississauga or nearby (at least one with a car) could
get together with me and we could drive to a few of the suggested places.
There are a number of criteria we could and should use to sum up where
to meet, including:

         - Good food at reasonable prices. Reasonable variety. What would
           a strict vegetarian do if all they serve pizza? (PS. I love 
pizza, too).
         - Convenient location by car or bus
         - Parking not a problem
         - Comfortable environment
         - Friendly, courteous service.
         - able to accommodate a wide range of people
         - best if they have a section we can reserve for us. Not all can 
or will.
         - A place where management of the restaurant is interested in hosting
           groups AND in reserving space on a particular repeating day.

There are just a few reasons why it might be a good idea to go on a bit of 
a tour
to actually see some places, talk to the management, look at their fare, the
layout of the place for a group, how quiet it is, etc.

Who would like to do that soon with me? I just hope the 7th is not too soon.
I would be available most of Saturday or Sunday afternoon/evening.

Bill
