This will be a true seafood extravaganza featuring seafood from all over the world. We will start with a full raw bar and then have 3 courses featuring different types of seafood with wine pairings to match. 
The RSVP window for this event is narrow... only 1 week. This event has a cap of only 50 seats total. Therefore, only members exclusively (no guests) can RSVP from now until until Wednesday October 6, at 8PM.  From 8PM Wednesday, Oct 6th until Friday, October 8th at 1PM, members may register their guests, first come first served, until we reach the cap of 50 total participants.  Reservations will close on Friday October 8 at 1PM, unless the cap is reached sooner.
As always, there is a two-step process for RSVPing and for paying. In the first step you will click on the "register for this event tab."  After registering, for the second step, members will click the BLUE "Buy now" button to purchase seats. When you arrive at the credit card payment page, please, at a minimum, enter your name. You do not have to enter your address and other personal demographic information, but if you don't enter your name, we might not know who is making the payment!
At 8PM on Wednesday October 6, 2021, members can log back in and will be able to register guests and then click on the GOLD "Buy now" button for guest seats.

Parking situation: The restaurant does have a valet.  Valet parking is NOT included in our price. There is also self parking under the complex. The entrance is on the side of the complex where Sequoia is located. Self-parking on the street can be very difficult to find and almost always involves a fairly long walk.  Please check street parking signs and/or meters carefully, as many are confusing and may not cover the duration of our event. Rideshare apps, taxis, or carpools are strongly recommended.
