Any restaurants in DMV that can accommodate a party for a large group with preset menu?

What the title says. Are there any restaurants that can accommodate a group of 100 people and allow us to have a preset menu? Grandparents' 50th anniversary is coming up. Any ideas or other venue suggestions would be welcome. If anyone has been there done that please advise. Not looking for a fancy venue, and we cannot wait until the weather turns better so a backyard party is out.

Maggianos has private rooms and pre set menus that work well for this.

Check wedding wire since what you’re looking for is similar scale to a wedding. You can filter to restaurants or venues. https://www.weddingwire.com/shared/search?group_id=1®ion_id=10014&state_id=408

Also call a couple caterers in your target area for quotes and they’ll know good venues.

+1 for Maggianos. Someone hosted an event for me there and it was great - the host told me after that Maggianos was super easy to work with.

We have done Maggie now for big group parties too. Very nice to work with. Not cheap. Pinstripes also has big group parties and activities. I know some will "sniff" at this chain choices, but not everyone can afford the Ritz.

Another maggianos vote. This is their specialty.

Another vote for Maggiano’s! They are great for private group dining.

Amphora’s in Herndon could also work well. We had a large gathering there with a buffet, but I bet they could do a fixed menu, too.

I would suggest doing this at a hotel that holds conferences. They're used to hosting large groups.

Another vote for Maggiano's. Our family uses them regularly for bridal and baby showers which are often 80-100 people. The food and service are consistently good, and they have private party rooms of various sizes.

Far East (Cantonese) on Nicholson lane in Rockville seems really popular for parties after their renovation. They have private rooms upstairs. The pricing is reasonable and food is very good. They brought in NYC chefs so really upped their game. I would get quotes from a few places.

Pinstripes was bad for friend’s kid 16th birthday party.
Very limited menu options.
