Group Dinner, E&O Trading or LuLu

I'm trying to plan a large, private group dinner. Would you recommend E&O Trading or LuLu's? I know they're both very difference experiences. This is for a large business dinner. Thoughts? Recommendations? Thanks!

Mermaid Inn Outside?

i'm pretty sure that's too many for the garden. let me know if you hear differently. i was looking for a party of 8 and was told we'd have to be indoors

Mermaid Inn Outside?

Just an fyi - large parties cannot make reservations for the back garden.

thanks for all the great responses - I'll definitely give it a try. Is it hard to make reservations?

Yes, I did visit the website. I guess my question is: Is the carriage house or outside garden a nicer place to dine in than the indoor dining room?

thanks again

Thanks for all the quick replies. Do they have outdoor seating?

celebratory dinner

Looking for a place to have a celebratory dinner for 7-10 people. american, bistro, french, or itlaian food, $20-30 a plate. Mostly concerned about atmosphere. A place with a great outside dining experience would be great.

thanks
