Dinner for 45 on 11/05/14, Metro Center/Convention Center-ish

[The Doctor]

Hi all,

I'm planning a sit-down dinner for approximately 45 people the evening of Wednesday, November 5. My guests will be staying at the Four Points Sheraton at 12th & K for a conference at the Convention Center. So the ideal location should be within a 12-15 minute walk of those venues.

Due to the size of the party, we will need a private room. Our budget is a max of around $50 per person exclusive of tax, tip, and alcohol, preferably lower.

I did a search of Open Table using the "larger party" option and found some surprisingly decent results. The ones I feel are close enough I've listed below. If anyone has alternate suggestions or comments about the following, I'd appreciate it. We're also very open about the type of restaurant -- ethnic food is definitely on the table (worst pun ever).

Anyway, here's what Open Table has in the vicinity:

Acadiana, Bibiana (!),  Bobby Van's Grill, Brasserie Beck, Carmine's, Clyde's of Gallery Place, CoCo Sala, Cuba Libre, DC Coast, Kellari Taverna, Mio, Oceanaire, Ping Pong Dim Sum Chinatown, Poste, Rural Society.

Thanks!

DC Coast would be an excellent choice, two blocks away.  They have a private room downstairs that would be perfectly suited to this.  I think you are at a good price point, too.  The restaurant receives very little attention on here but is excellent and, now, virtually a DC institution.

And Acadiana was set up to do these private events. I will alert PassionFoods to this thread.

Thanks for the input! My office had a staff luncheon at DC Coast a few years ago in the downstairs section. (I wasn't involved in the planning.)

My wife just had a company dinner at Acadiana and was very pleased overall.
