I apologize in advance as I know this gets asked often but the Search function blows and I can't find any of those threads.

I am setting up a 14-20 person birthday dinner for mid-December and am looking for suggestions in NOLA. Wanting to go upper end BUT the types of places I would pick (August) won't fly with this crowd. They are south LA folks who like to eat but they wouldn't care for that type of food ("There isn't enough food on the plate!")

I was leaning towards DelMonico or La Boca but we eat there all the time.

Any suggestions for someplace good for a crowd? I haven't been but what about Revolution?

We have had a group of about 20 in the wine room at revolution. It was great

We've also done a group of 14 at Domenica and Peche.

Commanders would be nice for this and they have enough "normal" stuff on the menu that the meat and potato crowd will be ok
Emerils or Delmonico would work too

A group that size would work well at Calcasieu. Good luck finding a place in mid December this late in the year.

Yep. I am pretty nervous about that aspect, making calls today after lunch.

Mosquito Supper Club would be my suggestion. Something compleltely different that your folks would probably really enjoy. She's from Chauvin and cooks everything just like it came out of her Grandma's kitchen.

Might be too short of a notice for that large of a party but I did a family celebration dinner there with 22 people and it was absolutely incredible.


Edit: it was very affordable compared to other places in Nola. We looked at a lot of places and MSC was by far the best bang for your buck. It's BYOB and she'll put whatever you bring on ice and serve it as part of the dinner. We brought a shitload of wine and beer and she never missed a beat.

Thanks for the feedback all.

I looked at several of the spots mentioned and decided to go with the Chef's Private dining room at R'evolution. We have some out of towners coming and the Folse name got them fired up. Plus the private room and bathroom is of interest since some of this group can get a bit rowdy.
