South Florida Rehearsal Lunch Venue!

It seems like all of those are banquet halls and I want to go for something smaller restaurant style since it's just 20 people and FMIL is footing the bill. She keeps getting on me about finding a place but I don't know how much she's willing to spend and she kind of won't really tell me an exact amount? So I don't know what to look for.

I am not familiar with that area of Florida so I would look up the type of restaurant you like? Maybe Italian.

Have you looked at Buca di Beppo? Its a bit corky but they have so many rooms your rehearsal party may be able to have a room completely to themselves and the food is served family style so its larger portions. I've done this multiple of my graduations and its always been a good time.

If you order and finish a bottle of wine you can sign it and hang it from the ceiling in the wine room and that memory will stay there forever.

Just an idea
