Business Dinner for 12 - HELP!!!

[luvmangoes]

So, I know that there have been a number of threads on business dinners. But here's a twist: I work for a large non-profit organization, and one of our most important corporate funders is coming for a meeting. There will be 12 of us in total, and we have invited them to dinner. It is possible that they will pick up the tab, but in the event that they don't (since we invited them), I don't want to choose an extremely pricey restaurant. (I don't want them thinking that this is how we spend their donations!) I'm looking at something like Artisanal, nice, good for a business dinner, but not too fancy. I was also thinking of db Bistro. I'm looking somewhere either in Murray Hill or Midtown West. Does anyone have any suggestions? I need to act fast (I procrastinated) since the dinner is on Wednesday! THANK YOU!!!

Thanks adamandeve! I will definitely check out Kellari Taverna. It sounds perfect for the kinds of dinners I have to organize.

I have organized dinner parties for the NGO where I work at numerous places and I would recommend Kellari Taverna in midtown. It's Greek, and upscale, but around the same price range that db. They have a wonderful long communal table that would be perfect for you.
