recommendations for restaurant w/private room for 40th bday dinner?

i am trying to plan a birthday dinner for my husband.... there'll be about 20 of us. any recommendations for a restaurant w/private room, preferably in lower westchester. not a steakhouse as about 1/2 the guests are vegetarian/fish only.

so far i have come up with
the melting pot (they were booked)
antipasti
sam's of gedney way

thanks.

    In Port Chester: tarry Lodge, FISH or Nessa.
    In Rye: rubys, morgan's fish, rye bar & grill for that matter, whitby castle's wine room & la panetierre are all better than the places on your list for different reasons but first and foremost the food.
    In White Plains: peniche is fun and tasty. I have heard good things about Vintage also but have never been. 42 if cost isn't an issue.
    In Harrison: Trattoria Vivolo is low key and accomodating...have fun

      Acquario in West Harrison. My MIL threw a pre-wedding rehersal dinner party there. it was very nice. Good food and not too $$.

          Il Soriso in Irvington has a lovely private room, but I don't know if it can hold 20. If you want something casual, Pete's Saloon in Elmsford could work.

            this is probably out of the way for you, but if you're willing to come out to NJ, Nisi Estiatorio in Englewood is an *excellent* Greek seafood restaurant with a smaller room for private dining. you can shoot straight down I-95, and it's only a few miles from the GWB.
