DETAILS & LOGISTICS: Please arrive between 11:45 and 12:15 to allow for networking and to place your lunch order.

Keep in mind the following regarding lunch at Dressler's Metro.
- Lunch price with tax and gratuity is expected to be all inclusive at around $20 total.
- You will be ordering from a limited menu provided to the group for efficiency in serving the group. If you order outside of complimentary drinks or the menu provided, your cost will be higher.
- Dressler's Metro is located in the Midtown area of Charlotte just off of Brookshire/I-277.
- PARKING: Parking on the street will be limited and there is no valet offered during lunchtime hours, so plan to park in the garage where there is ample parking and allow time to park and walk to Dressler's to arrive for the meeting.
We are having consistent issues with no-shows and last minute cancellations. Please be considerate in keeping with the ACAC values and the efforts of the staff in set-up and planning at Toscana's. Time is spent preparing for those who attend the meetings including names tags and restaurant set-up, therefore if you do not cancel
by noon on the Wednesday before the meeting, or are a no-show, an accountability fee will be charged.
We are excited by this new location as it is more centrally accommodating to where everyone is coming from along with great food and service.
Yours in building trust, building revenue,
