I appreciate the suggestions also. I need stuff like this all the time. I am activities co-chair for the Leadership Brazos Alumni Assoc and we have monthly lunches. I need places that seat 50-60. The big catch is that the business has to be a Chamber member since LBAA is a Chamber sponsored group. Some months we have speakers, some months we don't but either way, a sectioned off area or better yet a private room is needed.
What kind of restaurant you looking for? Just a casual place, a high end fancy place?
Mr G's in downtown Bryan has an upstairs I think you can rent out. Christopher's can section off a room, seats about 30. The Republic did an awesome job for us recently, we had a party of about 40.
Outback also has a room with a big screen tv and audio/video setups. They can accomodate groups even during non-business hours if you arrange well in advance.
