30th Birthday Options for 10-15 people -- Preferably on T

[marcreichman]

My wife's 30th is coming up, and I'm looking for a spot to do a low-moderately priced party. The East Coast Grill room looks great, but unfortunately we'll be on a Saturday so that's out. I would love to be somewhere on the T, as I have people coming from Arlington, Somerville, Cambridge, Roslindale, JP, etc. and it would be nice to be somewhat centrally located, like maybe Allston/Brighton, Central/Kendall, Coolidge Corner, etc.

Any ideas? I am not 100% set yet on prix fixe vs merely a big dinner table, but I'm trying to figure this out right now. Bonus points is that this is right before Thanksgiving so a lot of folks may already be out of town!

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. Right now I'm actually leaning to starting with a small group at Toro for drinks and maybe one or two small bites, then the real dinner with the group at Gaslight. It's nearby, inexpensive, has parking, and most of all my wife loves it!

I often suggest the pig roast at Posto, in Cambridge/Somerville, for 10-15 person parties. It's just a couple of blocks from both the Davis and Porter T stops, is a unique and delicious event with TONS of food, and is pretty reasonably priced per person.

I suggest Dokbua. They have some large round tables, as well as v. long tables. Also, Mary Chung's has large round tables. Both good places to order lots of dishes to share.
