Best Restaurants for Groups

little ms foodie · June 30, 2005

So we are looking for a restaurant for a group of about 16 or so. Preferably Italian, northwest with lots of seafood or the like. Moderate prices and good selections for vegetarians, etc.

We have thought of:

Via Trib (how many people does that back room hold?)

Serafina

Tulio

Assagio

Crow

Palace Kitchen

Where else???

I would have never even thought of that, I always consider them dark and romantic. Do they have a seperate space or are they just able to put tables together?

I still love Brasa. They have that private room. Or go cheaps and head over to Dish' Delish and a great wine shop and do a picnic by the pier. Just run when cops get there!

For Italian...

Brad's Swingside has a good back room for a group.

Sostanza in Madison Park has a great upstairs space.

It's been some time since I've eaten at either however.

Seafoodish:

Flying Fish - has a small back room too.

Etta's.

Not sure how Andaluca handles large parties, but associated with a hotel, I am sure they are used to it, yes?

THANK GOD!, no one suggested Beppos!

Thank you all, you are a class group.

Oh, we haven't received our invite yet, make it for 18 or so? What date/time. :biggrin:

I second this suggestion. My sister and friends had my bridal shower there a few weeks ago and it was great. We did a small plates tasting menu with each course (there were five) paired with wine. I'd actually only eaten there once before, about three and a half years ago when I first moved to Seattle. At the time I thought it was good, but not great. Well, the bridal shower menu (both food and wine) was great. Everything about the experience was positive.

On another note, if you're not wedded to Italian, you might consider Vios. We took about 12 people there on my wedding weekend itself this past weekend and we had a terrific time. Nice selection, including options for vegetarians and pescatarians, really good food. And I love the decor in that place.

The Harvest Vine has a communal table for 12 and they take reservations now- that would be a fun place for a small party

Sazerac & El Gaucho both have private rooms. And Wild Ginger.

Anyone have any new suggestions for private room spaces? or restaurants that can easily handle about 16 at a large table?

We had a group of 12 at Stumbling Goat a few weeks ago. Very accomodating, and they did a great job getting the courses out on time.

Surprisingly, the last time we ventured to Palace Kitchen with a large group, the two top adjacent to us complained we were too loud. Hmmm. Not exactly the place for a quiet romantic dinner for two.

good info on stumbling goat!! at palace we've always done the 'private' room.

What about Boat Street? anyone know if they can do a 16 top on a weekend?

Not a problem, they have the space that is Boat St Kitchen during the day.

do they have a private room?? I tend to feel this place is a bit tired- haven't been in a while but it seemed to attract a lot of the silver haired crowd (which is fine, I'm just saying.....)
