Can anyone help? I'm looking for a restaurant in the Orange or Anaheim area to host a lunch for a family group of about 24. It's for our daughter's college graduation and no one except the honoree lives in the area. The places she eats at either don't take reservations or aren't going to work for a group that ranges from college students to grandparents!

Anyone have any suggestions? I'm okay with paying $40 or so per person for lunch. Thanks so much for your help.

There are quite a few restaurants in either city that might appeal to you. Are you interested in any particular cuisine?

We've been to Foxfire Restaurant several times and always good. Attended several small functions and they did well.

It's on Santa Ana Canyon in Anaheim Hills, CA. Prices are probably in line with your budget.

Chele60 - I have to apologize for not responding to your message. Life intervened and I wasn't able to get back on line until tonight. Almost any kind of food is fine, although we have been invited to a Mexican restaurant the next day.

Canterbury - thanks for your suggestion. I'll look for their website.

I would like to recommend either Yves Bistro in Anahiem Hills (right behind Foxfire) or Zovs Bistro in Tustin.

I live right by Foxfire and it is really banquet hallish (is that a word). Zovs and Yves both have covered outdoor seating areas and while I cannot comment on the quality at Foxfire I can at both bistros.

Good Luck.

I like Yves Bistro also. Foxfire has other sections of the restaurant which are more "restaurant-y" that may seat 24.

Haven't been to yves bistro, but another for Zov's, great food, and they can accomodate your size.
