I'll probably be there in time for dinner...
so I'd like to request not Japanese. I'm probably not going to be in the mood for Chinese either, but I'm never in the mood for Japanese.
There are vegetarians in the mix, so a steak house doesn't seem like a good idea.
I don't care what the price range is. Someone else might though.
Cheers,
Ben

You better be.
If you're not, then I don't get to eat!
Dinner time for this crowd is going to be around 8ish, based on people's arrival times.

Jeez
OK, I've been calling places, no one has the right beer for Greg if they have good food. And you don't like asian.
Then tell me what do DO like, so I can focus my search.

I like pretty much everything else
And I don't dislike all Asian. Just Japanese, and I'll probably not be in the mood for Chinese. Though I will do Chinese if everyone else does.
But I love Thai. Indian. Mexican is OK.
What's wrong with the plan of separate restaurant and bar?

I love Thai as well
Ok, people, start speaking up. Do I focus on Thai, and find a place that 'X' can fit, is a reasonable distance, and has good food? I need a good idea of how many X equates to.
There are several Thai places within 5 miles of my house. I've tried 4 of them. I liked them all. In the list above is Siri's, which is about 3 miles the Bridge to philly where we can followup on the high end beer reguests. Siri's focuses on the French aspect. But I'm not sure on size.
There's another one on the Cherry Hill / Marlton border, abdout 5 miles down rt 70, that I've gone to several times recently. I'd say would could gather a crowd there nicely. Crispy duck is very good. Something blossom, I'll track it down.
Bangcok City is around the corner from me as well. Geiw grob and Miew Grob are quite good, the glass rolls are wonders, and the pressed duck is very good. A bit smaller than the other 2, but I've seen them accomodate a decent crown with notice.
For Bionerd Thai offers vegetarian. For me, I get variety of sweet and spicy appetizers and then the crispy duck, followed by sweet desert.
Siri's has a liquor license, which means food more expensive, and no (or frowned upon) byob. The food itself might be a notch above the others, but at this level we are splitting hairs. The others are byob and have less "atmosphere".
Beep - you got any closer suggestions?

Thai is good.
The only thing I don't want is "steak by the inch" or anywhere else that's mainly beef.
BYOB is fine, I guess, but as long as we go somewhere else afterwards where they pull pints of thick beer.

No sushi!!
I will not be able to sit at the same table and watch you eat that stuff! Bleck. Otherwise, I really dont care. I'm not coming for the food or the booze (okay, well maybe the booze). I coming for the company. We could be in a dank little hole in the wall and I would be happy. Matter of fact, the less fancy, the better.
Whatever you pick will be fine with me.

Don't worry
Ben's NO JAPANESE rules it out.
On the other hand, bman hates Thai.
So, I told him to offer alternatives. Publicly. No whining aloud allowed without making helpful suggestions.
