Daily Grille. They have a section of the restaurant that can be closed off to seat 15-20 people.

Tragara is closed.

Tragara is Italian and has separate rooms. Food has been good each time I've been there. I'm also a fan of Tower Oaks but they don't have a private room.

Or maybe Addie's. Same restaurant group, roughly same type menu/price range.

Black Market Bistro?
(On a weeknight--not sure if you could get the space on a busy weekend, but you could try.)

Range for sure won't work in that price range. Some of their entrees are more than $30.

OP, you can try the Irish Inn in Glen Echo, although not sure you can get drinks unless you drop dessert or appetizers.

Also try Trattoria Sorrento - might work with shared appetizers and a few bottles of wine.

8407?

We just did a great birthday dinner for 16 at Oro Pomodoro in Rockville Town Center. They have a pretty private space and can do either fixed price or open menu. We did open menu and open bar and the whole thing ended up costing just under $600, including tax and tip. That's about $38/pp when you're through. I highly recommend it. Happy Birthday to your dad!

We love Clyde's, I just think it might be a bit out of our price range...unless everyone only has one drink and no one orders an appetizer, salad, or dessert.

Positano in Bethesda.

What about Clyde's Tower Oak Lodge in Rockville.

My siblings and I are planning a birthday dinner for our father in a few months. We are planning to invite 15-20 people. Does anyone have a recommendation for a restaurant that can a) accomodate a party of that size and b) not cost us more than about $30 per person for dinner and drinks? I would be fine with a predetermined menu (ie choose one of these five entree options, etc) but would prefer not to do a buffet. My father likes Italian and American food. Nothing too adventurous. We do not need a private room but that would be nice.
