Rehearsal Dinner Location Rec for September?

We are planning a rehearsal dinner for late September (just outside of high season)on MV and frankly know NOTHING about MV except that it%26#39;s gorgeous and our kids love it, so please help! We need a place that can accommodate somewhere between 60-75 people -- we%26#39;re looking for as casual and relaxed as we can find, good food, nice people to work with... My son would actually love a BBQ place, but I can%26#39;t seem to find one. We don%26#39;t want to hire a caterer and then have to find a place, rent a tent and equipment, etc -- we really want a restaurant where it%26#39;s a complete turn-key operation. Can anyone help with a recommendation? Also -- I understand that outside of Oak Bluffs and Edgartown, MV is dry, but you can bring your own to most places. Would that make choosing a place OUTSIDE of E%26#39;town or OB less expensive for us? Any help you can give me would be so much appreciated. Thanks!

Okay, this gives me a bit more info than the pm you sent - Great! Definitely give Smokin%26#39; Bones a ring, though they%26#39;re still closed right now. It%26#39;s early in the season and most places don%26#39;t open until mid to late May. It%26#39;s in Oak Bluffs, just a bit out of the central downtown area. No other BBQ places on the island that I can think of.

BYOB will reduce your costs. That%26#39;s one reason I suggested having the BBQ at a house or Inn where the wedding party is staying. Your guests will be able to arrive throughout the evening, as they land on the island.

I%26#39;ll be happy to give more suggestions or thoughts on where to explore for options. Just give me a bit more guidance.

Banksidedrive,

How did your weekend go? Were you sucessful in narrowing down the rehearsal dinner location?

Hi Knows! Thanks for all your help both here and in the PM -- we%26#39;ve now chosen a place for the dinner (Lattanzi%26#39;s -- Albert is going to do a BBQ for us at the restaurant. I think he%26#39;s wonderful and I think the dinner will be just what we wanted in the area we wanted to have it.)

I have another question about rental houses that I%26#39;m going to post in a separate listing -- if you could take a look and share some more advice, I%26#39;d so appreciate it!

Thanks.
