A party, a get-together, or a full-blown shindig — no matter the event, big groups need a place to sit, eat, and be merry. Phoenix is a big city with a lot of restaurants, and many of them are perfect for big groups. Of course, you should always plan it in advance — it’s bad form to bring 16 people to a restaurant without a reservation! That said, you can look at this list to begin your planning — whether it’s a reunion, holiday, reception, or a surprise birthday party.
