weekend dinner for small group Palos Verdes area

[pattido]

Small group of us, 20 to 24, gathering in the Rancho Palo Verdes area. I'm unfamiliar with that area. Where could we go for a nice dinner? Quiet, so we can visit. About $25 to $30 a person, that's excluding alcohol. thanks. pattido

Is 20 to 24 your ages or the number in the group?

Admiral Risty's is always a good choice. Nice atmosphere and view, with excellent food. Ask for Rocky as your waiter he is a character and will make your evening!

I'm not sure if they could accommodate a group of 24, but call them anyway and try:

Bistro 767
767 Deep Valley Drive
Rolling Hills Estates, CA 90274

Also try Restaurant Christine:

There is also the Admiral Risty but I would hesitate to recommend it -- it's a Palos Verdes institution and although the view is still nice, the place is showing its age.

Have fun.

I love Christine but I doubt it's within your budget, since entrees alone are in the range of your total per person. I'm not sure where else to suggest for a group of 20-24 (which i consider large, not small!). I'm wondering if it would make sense to contact some of the numerous chinese restaurants in southbay (e.g., Lomita) and try to arrange a chinese banquet?
