50th Anniversary bash

[fud]

I found a post on a big birthday bash for 70 people but my friend only has 20.

Requirements are:

- 20+ people

- Grandparent's are not 'that' adventerous which means no thai or fusion food involving too much spice but they do like Greek.

- Has to be quiet enough to have a conversation without too much raising of voices

- Prefer it to be in the yaletown area

Suggestions?

Thanks for any help! I'm having trouble finding a place that fits 20, will be well suited for older folks.

Any help would be appreciated!

HSG immeadiatly comes to mind - they can configure their seating space (a private room in the back) and work menu requirements with reasonable requests. Plus the value equation is pretty good.

Hmm... have you called Provence Marinaside, Circolo, or Amacord in Yaletown? They strike me as restaurants that would work for an "older" crowd and for those who are not overly adventurous. You might have to do a set menu though...

Manlio at Amarcord will do private functions with notice. I think it's a perfect place for a 50th.

^ Thanks guys!

I'll pass this as well as some PM's I got on! It's actually for my coworker's grandparents as he's not too familiar with the good eats in the city.

HSG was my first feeling too because of that nice back private room and the promise of hanger steak and the rugged good looks of the chef.

How about the private room at Hy's Encore. Take em back to the era of their courtship for a great steakhouse dinner. That place is a winner for special events.

You could try LK Dining Lounge if quiet is your key requirement. The food had improved significantly on my last visit, but the place was still as dead as disco.

Although you say you prefer Yaletown. Why not out to Harrison Hot Springs Resort and Spa for dinner and dancing in the Copper Room, followed by a dip in the hot springs pools. Make it a weekend event for everyone.

Adding to your many suggestions, La Terrazza in Yaletown has a beautiful private room with floor to ceiling wine displays and can probably accommodate 20 or so people comfortably. The restaurant is spacious and not too crowded - good for old folks.

Harrison sounds marvellous, too bad it's not for my grandparents but really I'm just being helpful for a friend. La Terazza is another good one I will mention it to him!
