The restaurant info below is slightly updated from what I posted in the "when?" thread. I got a price and updated availability info from Teaism and typed in all three dinner menus from Tony Cheng's.
Updated Restaurant Info:
All are within a couple blocks of the arena. These are in no particular order; the numbers are included just to offset the descriptions. Under-21 diners are not a problem for the brew-pub. Drinks, tax (10% in DC) and tip not included unless mentioned otherwise. * indicates spicy dish on Chinese menus.
1) Teaism - “Pan -asian Fusion” Zagat-rated. $16.25 Each (includes drink, tax and tip) Max of 45 people. Each person pre-orders one of five Bento boxes, so we wouldn’t have to wait for service. They provide us with an assortment of drinks (fresh squeezed ginger limeade or Japanese sweet green tea) and desserts (chocolate and earl grey shortbread cookies/mini tea cake - she included one of each for each person in the quote. I might be able to get it knocked down to $15 even if we trim that back some...)
Bento boxes :
Fish- chilled baked teriyaki salmon, cucumber-ginger salad, rice and edamame
Veggie- grilled veggies with miso sauce, tofu with toppings, rice and edamame
Meatball – beef meatballs and tomato-miso sauce, tomato salad, carrot-sprout salad and rice
Chicken – fried chicken, sweet potatoes, cucumber ginger salad and rice
Tuna – Seared tuna and wasabi sauce, carrot-sprout salad, sweet potato and rice

2) RFD Washington - brew-pub. $19.95 for dinner. $14.95 for lunch. (Includes drink.) Need to know by 3/14. We’d have a section of the restaurant if the group is less than 50. They have a separate room for 80 or so. Includes salad, choice of 2 entrées: 1/2 braised chicken or one fish option (we’d have to pick either salmon atop crab quiche or lobster-and-crab ravioli), soft drink, dessert (tiramisu or cobbler). My notes are kind of messy: may include appetizer also. Those over-21 could buy alcoholic drinks at the bar.
3) Tony Cheng’s Seafood Restaurant -Chinese. Zagat-rated. Washingtonian “100 Very Best” and “100 Best Bargain” Pick one party menu $17.95 to $21.95 for dinner (3 diff menus). Beverages not included. Need at least 40 or 50 to get private room (with own cash bar), otherwise, we’d probably just have a group of tables in the main restaurant.
