Dinner reservations are set for 7:00 p.m. Saturday night at Murphy's Restaurant & Bar in downtown Prescott. We'll be upstairs in their mezzanine.

They are sending me menu options to look over. They asked if we could do 1 check that would include gratuity and I agreed. I'm going to look over the menu and see if we can offer 2-3 different selections so that we make it as simple as possible while still offering variety.

20 people was the number I was also thinking.
It could turn out to be only 15. 25 to 30 is also possible.

With a set limited menu for a group it is standard practice to base the price on the most expensive item offered. The lesser priced options are made available as an alternate choice for those who would rather have chicken or whatever. If we go with option B, I calculate the final price to be $28 per person (not including a bar tab). That sounds reasonable IF we are all able to sit together. The restaruant also has to account for the fact that they will probably not be able to turn the tables as fast if a group is going to hang out longer than normal and have a meeting or pass out awards etc.

We need to remember that it is not easy to place a large group on a Saturday night. (last year The Avi would not book our group of 15 in their Steakhouse on a Saturday night. They said it would displace to many other people) Paying an extra fee for a priviate / semi-private room is a worthwhile expense. It is also a good thing to have a set reservation time so we are not waiting and waiting or even worse, searching at the last minute for a place that is willing or able to accommodate us.

I know it will be much easier on us (the planners) to have this all set up before hand so we can fully enjoy the event. You have got to figure we would spend at least $20 per head for dinner no matter where we eat. Paying an additional $8 is not that bad considering the security we are buying to have everything set in advance without any worries.

Talk to them again. Try to get a few more details. If you feel good about it - Book It.
