That time of year: dinner out for 50-60

[EarlyDrive]

Looking at a sit-down dinner with colleagues for the holidays. 50-60 of us. In the $150-$175/pp range, with wine. Something like Xacutti is the right "feel" for the group, but they seat 50 max. Any suggestions?

The first suggestion is to ensure that you don't ask for seperate checks...lol. What day of the week are you looking at? Time? Do you want to have the menu set or do you want a choice or are you hoping to order right from the menu? Where have you been in the past and what were the pros and cons?

We are looking at a Wednesday or Thursday, 7:00ish. We are happy to have a set menu with some choices for courses, and pre-select wine for the group. We have been to the new Le Select (the biggest pro was that we had the back room(s) for our own use), and Crush (quite noisy).
