    I was thinking about having my wife's surprise b-day party at Melting Pot this Saturday, but I've heard nothing but lukewarm reviews for that place.

    So I need to pick another restaurant and fast.

    Americas - been there tooooooooooo many times.
    Fogo - parents and wife are not carnivores.
    Marks - freakin won't take reservations for a big party on Saturday.

    I know a bunch of other nice restaurants, but can't make up my mind.

    Brenners - my favorite steakhouse, but not everybody is a steak eater.

    No Italian, because I don't like it.

    Any recommendations?

    For midtown, heights, montrose areas:

    You can't go wrong with Tapas for a big party, and Catalan is the new popular one.

    Hugos (upscale Mexican) is super nice (imo) and fun for a party, too.

    I think Veritas (chef from Aries) actually has a party room.
    The Shade is always good, as well as T'afia (might not have enough room).
    I really like Julia's Cafe, too.

    Tafia and Catalan both said that they could only accomodate parties of 8 (maybe 6) and less when I called for my girl friends bday.

    How about Gravitas or Ibiza?
    Benjy's is a cool hangout too... but not so dressy.

    Gravitas on Taft - Modern Decor and classic food (the Steak Frite is amazing)
    its a nice, fun non-stuffy place.

    Masraff's - A traditional formal restaurant with a very cozy ambiance and separated rooms. Its on South Post Oak lane.

    How about Vic & Anthony's, I'm sure they have more than just Steak. Or maybe, a nice Seafood reataurant, McCormick and Schmicks.

    that would be awesome. why does everyone want to do something "nice" on their birthday? is your entire life a cliche? get up and get beside yo'selves people. think outside the box for once.





    ps- please don't yell at me :)
