Elston and what?  Address or intersection needed.  I only know them as a 
pizza shop / slightly pricey Italian place.  Not really a diner.

The Golden Nuggets I've been to haven't really been setup to handle a 
group of 10.  They're generally booths designed for 4, or corner booths 
for 5-6.  We'd end up with several mini-meetings.  Other than that, they 
sound like a good deal.

"If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of 
exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an 
idea, which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it 
to himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the 
possession of every one, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of 
it."  -- Thomas Jefferson
