In addition to this - 

Having it at the restaurant can and does make it uncomfortable for those of us who do choose not to eat there.

The other problem with Ryan's, that no one has mentioned, is that they have changed their hours to close at 8:30.  We can stay later than that, but they want to come in and pick up all the dishes by then.  We were just told this last populace meeting.  It rather felt like we were going to be getting squeezed for time.

Unfortunately, libraries reallly do have some significant drawbacks, mostly concerning hours/availability. As for a church, I'd say only if it's free, and doesn't require people to navigate through lots of local rush hour traffic to get to it. Ryan's does get noisy when the ice machine runs, but maybe we should just pursue the possibility of turning off the ice machine for the brief time we're there - I've witnessed them doing just that at times when it's gotten really obnoxious, so it might be possible. Ryan's may not be ideal in every way, but it's free, it hasn't posed any availability problems to speak of, it's got a good meeting room setup for us, in a pinch you can eat there, and it's centrally located right off a major freeway. That's a lot of points in its favor, compared to the periodically noisy ice machine...
