"I would avoid bogart's for a large party. The last time we had a group of about 15 people there the service was horrible. They had two servers for our table, but they didn't really work together. Instead, one took drink order for one side and food orders for one side and the other did the same for the other side of the table. The one side of the table was done with their food before the other side was even served theirs. It was a disaster."

15 isn't a large party for a rehearsal dinner

did you have the private room or were you just some random party of 15 that was sitting in the dining area? did you have reservations and/or call ahead?

It was not for a rehersal dinner, it was a birthday dinner. We had reservations, but were not in a private room. My point is that if they cannot handle a small party that they were aware was coming, then I would be very reluctant to trust them to be able to manage a large party for such a special occassion.

Cafe Luna (if you can get it)
State Club
Irregardless Cafe
Magnolia Grill (if you don't mind going to Durham)

If you decide to hold it somewhere and get it catered, this guy does amazing food! http://www.catering-by-design.com/

we had our rehearsal lunch at olive garden (hey, it was his parents' choice).

that night my family had a post-rehearsal dinner at carver's creek. not bad, and they were very accommodating.
