OOT-er needs suggestions

I'm headed to Philly this weekend for the first time.  I'm looking for a restaurant downtown that can host a large group (about 15), preferably without having to order off of a special menu.  I'm open to any style of food, a nice place, but not crazy expensive.

 Thanks!

  • I don't know where you will be located for the day (assuming it's for work), but Parc might be a good option. It's on Rittenhouse Square. I'm not sure if they do big groups but I think they could.  http://parc-restaurant.com/

    Triumph is a brewery in Old City -- they do groups. Their food is nicer than "pub food."

    Fork, also in Old City, has a private room. It might be more expensive than what you want...I'm not sure.

  • ^^^ All great suggestions.

  • My only thing with Parc is that it's so freaking LOUD - with a table of 15 there's no way that conversation would be heard by the entire table - in other words you'd likely wind up in a bunch of small conversations which may be bad if it's a business dinner (or maybe not if you can sit all the boring people away from you, lol).

    Yeah that's right my name's Yauch!
  • Amada could be a good option, although getting a res might be tough.

  • do you need center city? 

    what about Davio's?  

     Or Twenty Manning?  Could they fit a table of 15?  

    Estia could - but it might be $$$.

  • Thanks for all of the suggestions! The Starr group was one that requires a special fixed price menu for a group my size, and unfortunately it was out of budget for my circle of friends.  I ended up calling a BYOB that was recommended in the post below and it worked out that we got a reservation. 

    Thanks again for all of your suggestions.  I'll have to write them down for the next time I visit Philly.
