dinner suggestions for group of 25 in sf?

[sfoperalover]

hi all - can i ask for some assistance? i'll be part of a group of 25 folks from all over the US, (with a few of us locals) having dinner on a wednesday night. the organizers have asked me to suggest some possibilities. i have suggested shanghai 1930 and le colonial, but aside from these places, i haven't dined with a group anywhere in a while. i was thinking about bong su, but alas...

here are the parameters:

1) entrees between $15-$25
2) walking distance from 4th and Market
3) not too loud
4) a place that has some distinct sf flavor

all suggestions would be most welcome!

Upstairs at John's Grill. Some of 1, certainly 2 and 4, 3 iffy but possible. Keep it simple.

I attended a group gathering in the back area (w/ heat lamps) of Le Charm - doesn't really qualify for distinct SF flavor though.
