Hello -

We'll be coming in December with 10 adults and 4 children to spend a week in Oahu for my wedding. We are staying just around the corner from the Ko Olina resorts.

We're seeking a special meal venue for the wedding 'reception' that will offer an excellent menu at no more than about $100 a head. We're open to a variety of cuisines but I suspect pan-Asian / Pacific / Hawaiian would be best.

We ideally would like a restaurant where we could get a private room or area booked - to enhance both our own privacy and to avoid having our kids bug everyone else!

Finally, a view of the ocean would be a big plus.

We are also seeking a nice, but less fancy, restaurant for the night before the wedding.

Any and all advice most welcome!

My partner and I are going to Paris to meet my parents for the weekend (on the 21st-24th May). We are celebrating our birthdays and my parents are celebrating their 35th anniversary. It's a big weekend.

I would love to find some lovely, down-to-earth, relaxing, very French, memorable dining experiences - without going to the fanciest restaurants in the city. My parents love to eat well, but ambiance is key - anything too raucous or too dark is off the list. I should also note that my partner and I don't eat meat (we do eat fish, however).

This board has given me some wonderful names of restaurants, but I have very little idea how to choose. I would love some suggestions!
