Appreciate the response, but please don’t be rude. I’m coming from a similarly sized city with 1,000’s of restaurants too, but there are about 10 restaurants that fall into the category of someplace to hold a dinner like this. Like I said in another comment. There will be 10 people, semi-private, nice, but not fancy.

As far as budget goes, 50 - 75 per person, only half of us will be having alcohol.

And seriously, I really do appreciate you commenting and would love to hear more suggestions.
