Default Nice Restaurant for 35-40 people booking

Hello all.

My company needs to find a nice restaurant to book for 35-40 people at the end of the month.

We want something fairly high end but was a fun, modern atmousphere. Places such as Muse, Opus & Capo came to mind but they are booked or too small.
We don't want anything too formal such as La Chamiere or Teatro's.

Any suggestions?

Catch has a private dining room upstairs with a great terrace. Or you could book the Oyster Bar there for something less formal.

Particular area of the city needed?

If not, then maybe a golf course if someone in the community is a member, or even some communities have really nice restaurants on their lakes (Im thinking Lake Bonavista).

Downtown please. We are doing a real estate launch near Eu Claire and everyone will be staying in hotels Downtown, close to there.

Ric's Grill on 8th has a private room, but not sure if it would fit 40. Try calling them. They seem to fit your requirements other than the possible size of that room.

Newport Grill is the restaurant at Lake Bonavista. It is very pretty. We are actually having our wedding there next year.

I think Dinner prices are around $35, and Lunch are $28. It might be a little more than you were after.

Oceana, where La Caille on the Bow used to be.

Mercato's is good too, as is The King and I.

Actually, TEN in Kensington (corner of 10th and Memorial) has really good food. It just opened, and has a great atmosphere. It's a little pricy, but it's defintiely worth it. Try some of the deserts there too; you won't regret it!!

I assume you looked at River Cafe then? Buchanan's is good, but it's not that modern and swishy inside.

What kind of food do they serve? Italian? California? I walk by that place every day and I'm amazed they don't have a menu outside. That location is where restaurants go to die so I'm a bit wary to even venture in and give it a go.

Catch is fairly high end and they have a really nice rooftop indoor patio. You wont be disapointed.

The girl I work with who's doing the booking thought River Cafe looked a bit too old school and formal inside. I've never been there, is this true?

We have pretty rowdy, alcoholic bunch of co-workers so we need somewhere we can make a little noise and has a less formal atmousphere.
