We're a group of about 50. During the time that I've been here, we've gone to Heartland Brewery, Ernie's, Cal's, Tribeca Grill, Angelo's, and La Dolce Vita. (So I guess we're looking for more American/Italian food than Thai, Chinese, etc. Any suggestions? And thanks for saving me from buying a wig!

In addition to seafood, they also have a continental menu which includes steaks, sirloin burgers, chicken and pasta. The restaurant accommodates parties of 50 to over 250 people in the downstairs banquet rooms. I would call early as they get very busy with holiday parties this time of year. Hope this helps you with your decision. Wed Oct 08 11:29:06 -0700 2003 1089319 0 Michael Choudry
