where to meet?

[Guest guest]

I'm looking for a restaurant or cafe where I can have a semi-private

meeting for about 15 people. Do you know of any place that has a

separate room, or at least a main room big enough for a group to sit off

in a corner? Doesn't have to be fancy. Doesn't have to be all vegan,

but must be able to do vegan for us. I would prefer San Francisco but

East Bay could work.

Thank you!

Alex, you did not say what time of day you were thinking of, but Town's End,

may work for daytime. It is a large , pleasant dining room, quieter on

weekdays, and my sister, says that they have vegan pancakes available for

via special request. Similarly, they may offer vegan dinner items, if you

call ahead. My other thought is Greens " , which used to have a separate room.

    Alex, we have 2 meeting-space choices for you at the Manzanita Restaurant

(40th &

Linden, on the Oakland side of the Emeryville border): the first is a separate

room in our

dining hall; the second is the " Garden Court " with chairs and tables for up to

about 35

people under a canopy of Bougainvillea flower vines (now in full bloom). We

have used

this outdoor venue for receptions, lectures, birthday parties, business meetings

- and we

can provide microphone and speakers as well. And Kitchen Manager Aden has

devised a

variety of wonderful all-vegan hors d'oeuvres -- the meeting space is free IF

you will just

buy some food from us!

 

If you're not familiar with the Manzanita, our specialty is macrobiotic and

vegan, and

we're close to 100% organic - struggling for a full 100% if I can just keep my

bargain-crazy

Russian wife away from Berkeley Bowl's Saturday-morning fruit-shelf specials . .

Layonna in SF has a huge back area/room that is always empty.

 

Bok Choy's private room might not be available, due to fixing up. (I

don't have the latest update)

 

Layonna and Bok Choy Garden are across the street from each other and

both sort of need more business.

I want to second Winnie's recommendation of Layonna. I ate there for

the 1st time yesterday with the BAV Vegan Book Club, and it was very

quiet in the back. It felt like we had this big space all to

ourselves. They have a HUGE VEGAN MENU. So many things to choose

from. Be sure to bring an appetite! I think this would be great for a

meeting of 15 to 20 people. Or more!
