Business Dinner: Fun, for 25 and near the Intercontinental

I just received this from a partner in NYC:

For the SSTP meetings next week in Chicago, we are looking for a restaurant for Wednesday night that is not too far from the hotel (Intercontinental) that would be fun and would accomodate about 25 people. We hope the price per person, with the usual drinks and wine, would be under $100. We currently have reservations at Grotto. Any thoughts? Thanks.

Any thoughts?

I hosted a dinner for 30 out of towners a couple of years ago at Francesa's on Taylor. They did a wonderful job providing a varied, tasty, and inexpensive menu and were very reasonable about the wine. I kept it under $100/head including a large bus/van to haul everyone over from the Sheraton on Columbus.

MAG,

What about Fogo de Chao? Itg's big, it's beefy, it's under $100.
