Need a restaurant near Lincoln Center on Christmas day for group of 10
 

We are meeting people in this area and would like to find a festive spot for dinner. I wanted Rosa Mexicano but they will be closed. Any other suggestions for groups of 10 (6pm). No Chinese or Italian, but most other cuisines are fine (greek, mexican, indian, etc). The group has 4 adults and 6 teens. Nothing ridiculously pricey but entrees in the mid-20s is ok.

You might try Sapphire on Broadway for Indian food. I have eaten there only once (indian isn't my favorite), but it received good reviews when it opened, and I thought it was quite nice.

You might try opentable.com to see which places are serving Christmas day - although I don't think they do reservations for so many people - you'll probably have to call directly.

Unfortunately my recos in that area would be Chinese or Italian or over your budget.

I made a backup rez at Rosa Mexicano Union Sq. We live near there, but are meeting out-of-towners who will come into the city by car to do something beforehand in the Lincoln Center area, and I was trying to avoid having them move their car.

I called Cafe Des Artistes and they are closed. I wanted something on the roomy side, given we are a party of 10, and want to be somewhat comfortable.

How about Landmarc in the Time Warner Center? or maybe Pasaha - 70 W. 71st St. - a little bit out of the way, but good Turkish food, comfortable surroundings, reasonably priced . . . There's always Josephina, right there on Broadway and 64th - the food is OK, reliable.

Have you called Gabriel's? Or Cafe Luxembourg?
