re: J.L.
I had a great meeting (it was 15 people but they might do it for less) in the private room of the Westside Tavern (westsidetavernla.com). Plus they had three outstanding prixe fixe lunches - a wonderful, perfectly chopped cobb salad, a portobello and tomato and burrata sandwich, and a lamb dish. Plus a chocolate brownie with some toffee and vanilla bean ice cream for dessert.

Your best bet for a "Quite" dining environment would be a Private Room. Without having any budgetary guidelines to go by, the Private room at Drago in Santa Monica would work.

i have a monthly book club and we have the same need every month. We have found that a private room with no minimum charge works the best rather than insisting on a round table. There are a few restaurants without a private room that are quiet enough for our discussions.
If you agree with the above, some restaurants with private rooms but no minumum guarantees are Wilshire and Palmieri, Quiet restaurants are the Pacific Dining Car and Catch at Casa Del Mar (they have a prix fixe menu). Some other restaurants that fit with private rooms but have less interesting food are Il Fornaio, Buca di Bepo, Back on Broadway, Back on the Beach (great daytime views of the beach).

You didn't mention a price point, but I recently noticed that Craft has large round tables for big parties. It's not *that* quiet, but not what I'd considered loud either so it may work depending on your needs. I don't think it's an appropriate place to linger with papers on the table, etc.
