Input Needed for Class Event on Friday

Email sent 26 July 2018

Hawaii Travelers,

I think I have found the perfect event for us for Friday evening the 31st. The Marriott Waikiki is a little disappointing on the space they are offering to us without paying some crazy expensive banquet fee. After a lengthy search, I found the rooftop bar at the Tommy Bahama’s Restaurant. An open air terrace area (Check out Trip Advisor: https://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurant_Review-g60982-d8805974-Reviews-Tommy_Bahama_Restaurant_Bar_Store-Honolulu_Oahu_Hawaii.html). I have attached a group event menu and really like the MAKAHA Dinner menu for $65 per person, plus gratuity, tax and service fee. They can do a happy hour, cash bar, prior to the dinner for us on this beautiful open air top floor patio you see in the pictures on Trip Advisor. So, I want to pull the trigger on this event and I assume those of you who came to Hawaii for this game are looking for a classy event something like this for our Friday night Class party. So, feedback appreciated and if you cannot make it, please let me know because I will eventually have to give them a firm number. My guess is you will spend $100 per person if you have a few drinks and dinner, but it’s Waikiki and that is not hard to do at a decent restaurant. Thanks and I will look forward to feedback from our group…. OR suggestions of anyone has one. I have spent a few days talking to different restaurants who could handle 80 or so people for a group event in a nice setting and I keep coming back to this place. PLUS…. well reviewed on Trip Advisor and Yelp and a few locals I know who gave me recommendations.
Okay ’85, let me know.
Thanks.  Bob
