The group will be around 15 adults and 7 children (ages 1 - 8). My ideal restaurant would be somewhat centrally located, not too expensive (I would like to keep it under $500), have an area that we could all sit at one big table (preferably off to the side or in a seperate room) and (most importantly) I would need to be able to set up a reservation in advance (I am sending out invitations). Any recommendations?
