When you get together with friends, what is your preferred setting? And how do you arrange it?

<p>I like the lack of fuss of eating out, but there’s one couple who I love dearly, but I really hate eating out with them because he doesn’t like anything. (At home he just has salad for dinner.) We are going out with them on Tuesday (his idea) because this particular restaurant is having flamenco dancing. His comment was he’s looking forward to the dancing, it’s too bad the food is terrible. We just laughed. We’ve eaten there several times, and not only has the place gotten great reviews, we like the food too. He’s just Oscar the Grouch. </p>

<p>Interestingly, they are the big party givers of the neighborhood.</p>
