Dine Arounds
Dine Around Restaurant Descriptions
Get to know your fellow NAPHIA members and attendees by participating in the Dine Arounds taking place Tuesday evening! NAPHIA has made reservations at different restaurants in the downtown Charleston area for your enjoyment. All restaurants are within an easy walk from the hotel.
Here’s what you should know about the dine-arounds, especially if you have not previously experienced these fun evenings:
- When signing up, please only include one name per line (couples should enter each name on a separate line). Also, you are asked to provide a cell phone number at which you can be reached on-site. Obviously, “play nice” and don’t override any names that already are entered in the restaurant column at which you are interested in dining!
- Only enter your name under one restaurant.
- Finally, don’t be a “no show”—if you sign up but your plans change, let us know as far in advance as possible. Someone else may want your seat, or we may need to let the restaurant know that the group size has changed.
- If a group of you are planning to dine together, it’s probably best if one person is assigned to enter all names at once (remembering the “one name per line” rule), rather than each person in the group doing so individually (the table may fill up before everyone logs on).
- Lastly, NAPHIA does not cover the cost of the dinner. It is up to the diners at the end of the evening to pay the bill.
