Birthday dinner help
Hey,
I am trying to find a place to have a casual get together for my dad's birthday. I'm expecting about 20 people. I don't want to reserve a private room since then you have to pay a ton up front and it comes with a set menu and all of that. I am really just hoping to find a restaurant that will accommodate us and let us pay seperately. I know for the staff it is a pain, but we're a pretty easy going bunch. Also, it will be a tuesday night, so at least we're guaranteed business on a weekday! I'm having an impossible time finding anywhere to go that will take a group this large without going the private party route. I'm very tempted to get two people to make reservations for 10 and pray we sit close. Any suggestions?
Re: Birthday dinner help
What kinds of food does your dad like?
I would suggest Andina for their private rooms, Jakes at the Governor has some nice spaces (speak with Tara, she's a former knottie, if you are going to book there), and Bamboo Grove has a graet back room and wonderful hawaiian food.
Red Robin in Beaverton, and Newport Bay in Tanasbourne, both have a "side area" where you could fit a group your size, and they don't require a deposit or a set menu.
However, all of these places are going to require one check and 18% gratuity. It's VERY hard to wait on a group that large, it requires a lot of work on the restaurant's side, and they aren't going to risk a group that won't tip or won't pay their full bill.
Why don't you just tell everyone to bring cash for the dinner, or better yet, could you or your parents just pick up the whole bill?
Or, get pizza delivered to your house if you really don't want to work with a restaurant.
