With the help of the small restaurant guide on the wiki I have
discovered Poor Calvin's. This place looks neat, supposedly fusion of
Thai and Southern food and is well reviewed. It is 0.8 miles or ~15
minute walk from the Sheraton according to Google so should be walkable
for most. Rather than draw out restaurant selection I was thinking I
would go ahead and try to make a reservation for however many people are
signed up on the etherpad for as close to 7pm as I can manage Monday
night. I will wait until tomorrow before doing this in order to provide
veto time if this location does not work for someone, in which case
please do help suggest an alternative.

If I can't get a reservation for us at Poor Calvin's I was looking at
Sway as a backup since it also has southern food and seems to be well
reviewed despite being hotel restaurant. Again please veto if necessary
and suggest alternatives.

Lastly I did update the etherpad with links to these restaurants (and a
few others) if you need more info.

Thank you,
