Looking for a private dining room for 45 in Charlottesville area

[hmsobel]

I will have a group in Charlottesville in Feb of '08 and need to find a restaurant in or near Charlottesville (22911) that can handle approx. 45 people for dinner (on a Friday night no less). Am looking for a moderately priced place ($15-$20pp on average) that has a varied american fare menu. Any suggestions???

Thanks!

Downtown Grill is great.

Regardless of the food quality on that, though, it's at least twice the price range that the OP noted.

Fitting your criteria, I can think of three possibilities:
Michael's Bistro -- pretty solid food, they could meet your price, I'm not sure if they'd do the 45 because that's most of the restaurant.
Rapture -- not quite as solid food, but not bad, I think they could also meet your price and the size of the party should be fine.
West Main: A Virginian restaurant -- I'm honestly not sure of the food, but they're large enough and could meet the price range.
