Christmas Eve dining for a group

[qzq]

I've got a big group, about 45 to feed on Christmas eve in Chicago. We've gone to Buca DiBeppo for the past few years, and they have been swell, but I'd like to see what's out there.
Any suggestions?

A good place to look for places that will take large parties is Open Table. Go to the Home Page for Chicago and then click on the LARGE PARTY AND BANQUETS link on the left side. This will list all the places on Open Table with their policies and offerings for larger groups. It's a good tool. Not sure if it's open on that date but Scoozi would be fun for a large group.
