Lucca! It is one of my favorite restaurants and they have an enclosed patio are and a back room, either of which is about the right size for you. Their food and sevice has always been awesome and their prices are reasonable.

They are located at 16th and J streets.

Thanks for the advice, I will check these out!

Il Fornaio on Capitol Mall has a banquet room and nice outdoor patio. Great food.

Recently went to the Pyramid Brewery on the K Street Mall and noticed they had a couple of banquet rooms. You can even do a video tour of the mezzanine room which would be about right for your group:

the downtown paragarys has a nice patio that can be rented out

Hello all - thanks for the input so far. I am planning this reunion from 100 miles away, so your input is greatly appreciated. My cohort in this adventure has information on a few restaurants we are considering. Your honest remarks on them would make my job so much easier!

Il Fornaio - already recommended, I am leaning this way but we still need to consider price. Anyone eaten here banquet style?

Paragarys

Esquire Grill

Cosmo

Spataro

These have private rooms - seem to fit our needs. Any comments on the food?

Toncaso - thanks for the quick reply. Which place are you referring to?
