Dinner out for a large group

[ddwlms]

We'll be down there for cheer competition in February and our group wants a place to eat away from the parks one night. (group of 30 - 35) Last year we did Medieval Times so that is out. Somewhere like the Rain Forest would have been fun. Maybe somewhere on the waterfront. Any suggestion?
TIA

The Old Spaghetti Factory is always fun. Close to the parks too.

We do Ralph Brennan's for group dinners. It's my favorite restaurant near DLR.

We have seen large groups at Naples and Ballast Point. Hope that helps!

Thank you all for the suggestions. I should have specified: "our group" is mainly high school cheerleaders. Does that change any of your suggestions?

If you liked the Medieval Times concept, you could do the nearby Pirate Dinner. There’s a recent thread discussing it.

I'm in the process of planning an event for 20-30 people. Granted, these are all adults looking for a celebration meal, but the places I'm talking to right now are Catal and Jazz Kitchen. Those 2 and Tortilla Jo's all have private rooms.

I know you said away from DL but I enjoyed a group event for work at Splitsville in DTD more than I expected to. The food was pretty good and people had fun bowling and socializing- we had 3 lanes as well as a tables and a food area upstairs in the back. But its not a traditional sit down/served dinner so may not be exactly what you're looking for. Our group was not quite that big but there were 2 other lanes nearby so I'm guessing you can book the whole area.

Is Ruth's Chris in your budget range?

My kids love California pizza kitchen (and we don't have one locally so it's a novelty) but it and some other restaurants are at the Anaheim garden walk which is about a 5 minute walk from the gates on the harbor side

Cheesecake Factory might work, too. That menu is large enough to have something for everybody's tastes!
