cruzin4our10th Posted June 6, 2013 #1 Share Posted June 6, 2013 We will be in Fort Lauderdale for a National Gymnastics competetion in June and our team would like to get together for dinner one night. I am looking for recommendations for large group 25-30 that will be a crowd pleaser for kids and adults. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have some experience feeding gymnasts so I presume they won't be eating burger, fries and other fried foods? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruzin4our10th Posted June 6, 2013 Author #4 Share Posted June 6, 2013 We all have different hotels some in condos. Somewhere with a good selection, burgers, seafood, chicken. The families of the gymnasts don't need to eat light and some of the gymnasts will be done competing for the week when we get together. I will look at Aruba. I think I saw them recommended in here. Do you know if they have a website? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florissouri Posted June 6, 2013 #5 Share Posted June 6, 2013 I'd go to Aruba. Great location with the beach, pier and a couple of public parking lots just a couple blocks away, but I think Aruba might have a hard time accommodating a group that large as busy as they are. They would definitely need to call well in advance and ask them if they could put that many tables together at the desired time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florissouri Posted June 7, 2013 #7 Share Posted June 7, 2013 We all have different hotels some in condos. Just trying to pin down the area of Broward County where most of your group is staying to keep suggestions somewhat central to the group or within a half hour drive.

cruzin4our10th Posted June 7, 2013 Author #8 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Most are staying right in the convention center area as that is where the meet is at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florissouri Posted June 7, 2013 #9 Share Posted June 7, 2013 What about Benihana? Water view on the Intracoastal, group concept, Lauderdale By the Sea, entertainment in preparation and a variety of chicken, beef, pork and seafood. They do have a children's menu, but no burgers. http://www.benihana.com/menu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chart House? It must be a different one than what I know.... The Chart House I have eaten at is at least 45.00/55.00 per person and really not "kid friendly"...........the menu is ala carte....quite pricey as nothing comes with your entree...all the sides are extra $.

wallie5446 Posted June 24, 2013 #18 Share Posted June 24, 2013 www.rusticinn.com Great seafood, family style seating, is a water taxi stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florissouri Posted June 24, 2013 #19 Share Posted June 24, 2013 www.rusticinn.com Great seafood, family style seating, is a water taxi stop. Uh...Whoa! The Rustic Inn is nowhere close to the Water Taxi. As a matter of fact it's not close to anything but warehouses and a bunch of boats on dry land. Besides, these folks have already been to Ft Lauderdale and are back in Illinois. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a date when she said they were coming to FLL? And that they are already back home? I think people were just trying to help.:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
