Company Christmas party in Tampa area - need suggestions

I'm looking for suggestions in the Tampa Bay area (preferably Tampa) for a company xmas party for about 30-35 people. Any cuisine, any price, buffet or sit down. This is not a quiet group, so i'm looking for a place with a private/semi-private room. The group prefers a more casual setting. We've done Leroy Selmons in the past which worked out great.

    Our company had our Christmas party at Boizao last year in a private room. Really a different experience as long as you have meat-eaters! I enjoyed it more than I thought I would.

        Last year my husband's company did their party at Maggiano's at the WestShore Mall. They are a "loud" group as well. The food was good and the private room worked out great! The food was served family style.
        Another year they had it at the Columbia - buffett style. Again the food was good and we were in a private room and served buffet style.
        I hear this years party is going to be at the Bamboo Club at the International Mall - we'll see how that works out.

          We've done Maggiano's a couple times and it works great for a group that size, but there's no ability to walk around and mingle. I guess I need to change my request to buffet OR private room. I have Columbia on my list to check out. Which location did you go to?

            The one in Ybor. There's a smaller private room off the side of the main dinning rooms. Lots of room to mingle and nice set up for the buffet.

                No problem. I should mention that we were there about 2 or 3 years ago, so I would imagine that it should be the same set up.
