Specifically, I need help conjugating reunirse. We're taking our friend out to supper tonight before he moves back to Mexico.

You can use the present tense to talk about the things you'll do for certain in the future, so I'd say: Nos reunimos contigo / con usted (depends on whether you address your friend informally or formally) en el restaurante a las seis y media esta noche.

You can also say: Vamos a reunirnos contigo / con usted a las seis y media esta noche.

"contigo / con usted" sounds redundant to me. There are already two verbs conjugated for "Nosotros," so without the redundancy it's still well understood - 005faa61, Apr 9, 2011
It's a group of people meeting with someone, hence the wording. True that removing "con alguien" would yield a correct sentence, but that would mean something else. If I say "I met up with someone," in Spanish it'd be "me reunĂ­ con alguien," - Deanski, Apr 9, 2011
instead of "nos reunimos". - Deanski, Apr 9, 2011

That says we will go to the restaurant (together) rather than meet up there. - kenwilliams, Apr 9, 2011

Nos quedamos en el restaurante a las seis y media esta tarde. We will meet in the restaurant at 6.30 this evening.

( I think it would be): Revised in view of Deanski's comments

You could say, using the present indicative:

Nos reunimos contigo al restaurante a las seis y media esta noche

= We will meet you at the restaurant at six thirty tonight

You could also use the immediate future and say:

Vamos a reunirnos contigo al restaurante a las seis y media

I hope this helps grin

Feliz, they are taking a friend (just one) out to supper. I think you just overlooked it.:) - Deanski, Apr 9, 2011
