Dinner for 60-80: Ninety acres or ....?

Hello,

We are looking for a restaurant that can host a group of 60-80 persons for dinner.

Ninety acres can do it for lunch (for dinner they would have to shut down restaurant - $45000, or use their mansion ~$175-200 per person).

We are trying to keep costs

Thanks,
S

Great restaurants and pubs in Cambridge

Thanks guys! These sound like great recommendations! It's unfortunate a pub with great food is a myth. I heard the Rice Boat is great for curries. What are your thoughts?

Thanks!

Great restaurants and pubs in Cambridge

Visiting Cambridge for the first time. A great place, but there is not too much out there on what's good around here in terms of food and pubs.

Can you recommend some notable restaurants in the area? Also, heard there are pubs with great English beers with curries. That would also be nice to know.

Thanks!

North fork restaurant, please help me track down.

Hi, It was not the Portly grape... much smaller.. I am pretty sure the town was Sag harbor ( i spent some time looking at maps. google last night)..

So does that help?

Heading out of town from the main area, drive is a bit uphill, restaurant on the right.. candlelit, flowers, very cozy and upscale, small..

North fork restaurant, please help me track down.

Hi, I know this sounds crazy but I am going to try anyway.

My husband and I remember a restaurant when we visited a town in North fork of LI. The town had a main st (by the water). As we drove out of town along the main road,not far from the main st, going uphill, we saw a beautiful restaurant on the right side (single story, flowers outside, old fashioned).

If this sounds familiar to anybody please help me. I am trying to do something special for my husband.

Thanks,
S
