Hi all. I need to reserve tables for 24 people within a short distance of the Convention Center, for a weekday lunch. Concerns: Not too pricey (non-profit group), variety of food (soups/salads/sandwiches/burgers, or maybe light Italian but not Il Fornaio), reasonably quick service.
I have never been to Sacramento, so your help is greatly appreciated. I have looked at several other posts, and am wondering if Lucca's or Capitol Garage might be fit the bill. Any opinions? Thanks!

Pyramid Brewery. Close by can accomodate large groups even has its own room.

There's a new place claled the Cafeteria 15L in place of Masons at 15th & L. Not really a cafeteria though:

yes, Pyramid would be good - they have a couple of rooms good for medium sized groups like that. We even had a Fodors GTG there a few years ago. Decent food, not too pricey, and a short walk from the Conv. center.

Don't go to Capital Garage! It's actually a fun place, but it's a coffee joint where metal bands play at night, and it would be both too small and too casual for your group.
For Asian, the food and atmosphere is lovely at Ma Jong's http://www.theparkdowntown.com/page.php?url=majongs, but it can be noisy. However, your group may fill the whole place if you reserve!
There's a new California Pizza Kitchen at 16th and K, and you may want to consider Original Pete's as well, at 20th and J (good prices, good food, very much a family atmosphere http://www.petesrandb.com/locations.html)
If you feel Lucca's is in your price range, you certainly can't go wrong there, either.

Thanks for the help. We decided to try Lucca, and were pleased with it. The food was very good. Everything had quality ingredients, and even the tea selections were fancy. The service was decent, and the room where our tables were set up was nice, with lots of light from overhead. I would recommend.
We also ate at Mikuni Sushi, across the street from Lucca. Not a good group place, as they brought out half the dishes after the first half of the group was almost done eating. However, the food was good, and we all liked the Freaky Edamame.
