This event was attended by hundreds of hungry guests and was very crowded indeed. With a little patience and some good skills at balancing plate and a wine glass, no guest left the evening unsatisfied or with any room in his or her stomach.

Live entertainment was provided throughout the evening - sometimes a bit too loud to allow for easy conversation, however.
