Where's a Good Restraunt to hold a lot of people?

[cutienikki]

a lot of people say 25+ ?

[MissMarz]

relish will let u rent out rooms for free, just make a res.

[Ashley*Dawn]

I'm wondering this too.... I'm having a bday dinner with like 20+ people and it's so hard to get reservations at any returant for that many people.

[miss.myra]

Ugh relish will make a reso for a lot of people but they don't give good service to large groups :P

Actually, I've found that is pretty much standard across the city, a lot of restaurants are happy to give reservations to large groups but they are not equipped to handle them, they totally understaff or they use archaic billing systems that will not allow them to divide up bills (which can pretty much almost always cause problems at the end of the night)

Anyways, if anyone has any ideas about places that can handle large groups really well I'm interested to hear about it! :P

sushi ya in richmond can hold 50 people in the side booths if they take the center wall out. i swear i once saw 60+ people come in and sit in there.

if your into shooshee like i am =D

Relish gave us great service with a big group in one of there rooms.
I guess it all depends whos working.
I would recomend it based on my 2 experience's there

[miss.myra]

Yeah when I went there it was pretty horrible, I think it's honestly management's fault for assigning one person to a table that had over 20 people at it, she was really not feeling it and you could really tell. Also, of course they didn't divide up the bills and they accidentally put a 100% autograt on the bill which a lot of people never noticed (thank god for wishbone!)

We would have paid that grat too. :(

The food is shit too. I have been there twice in the last few months with mediocre dinners. :(

I would but the thing is i duno if everyone likes sushi...plus i know a few people who don't eat seafood...

I know of places where they have "set menu's" for large groups ...so then i guess everyone would have to pay a certain amount? but then there's people's funds and if they can afford it and all ...

how much is it to rent a hall? or a room somewhere?

[cubed]

Centro Mediterranean Grill on Granville and Smithe.

They can even set up a fixed menu for you.

[Phrenetic]

hotel banquet rooms are around 400-700 bucks and a damage deposit. then you would need some staff and all that jazz

[sNyx]

Relish :)

[cubed]

^it's already been covered that the food is shit and the service is lack luster.

GET WITH THE PROGRAM MYLES!

[Mr Ektion]

Capricorn Grill on Broadway across from the London Drugs by Cambie. HUGE menu, well priced, and good eats. If you give them a couple of days notice you can fit groups of 40. They're usually not so busy because they don't advertise. But i give them the thumbs up.

[tango]

try Hell's Kitchen on W 4th.
they've got pretty big table areas. and great food!
our group was only 9, but we had a small table.
i definatly reccommend it.
:D

macaroni grill on davie.

The Kingston on Richards between Robson and Georgia. (old Rose and Thorn Pub). You could probably book the whole downstairs. It has it's own bar and dart boards. (and it's haunted, too!)

Subeez.

Upstairs @ La Bodega.

Make sure to revive this thread, after the fact, just to satisfy the curiosity of everyone making suggestions.

Despite the fact there is no preference of food that is suggested with the original post...

Rugby Bar & Grill
Gramercy Grill
Henessey Dining Lounge < went here two weeks ago. Decent food with house on Fridays
Joey Tomatoes

Check Dine Here for other possibilities

Good idea with La Bodega, I love that place soo much. Have you been there before with a large group? How was the service?

[gnosis]

^I haven't been for a couple of months.
We should go!

The service for a large party is pretty much what you'd expect from La Bodega.
It was fine.
We weren't left wanting.
She was pretty attentive to us.
