YUM - so far looks like Portofino it is!

If we want to make it more casual, our group can always take over the room right at the entrance - the smaller area.

Did we decide if this is a girl's night or are the guys invited?

I also thought it was girls night. Doesn't matter to me either way. FI won't be able to come.

I am so excited... Portofino is in the lead!

DH would rather pull his lower lip over his head than think about anymore wedding stuff. I on the other hand love it so I vote for just girls!

Looking forward to it! Never been to Portofino's. How's the parking situation there though?

Parking is annoying - but they have valet parking. Although, you may be able to find something on Queens Blvd service road.

I usually end up parking around the block. If anyone else is coming from ozone park/howard beach maybe we can carpool?

Re: Forest Hills GTG Venue Poll Narrowed

My sister lives across the street. It is MUCh easier to park on the opposite side of Queens Boulevard. Just be careful crossing the street. They don't call it the "Boulevard of Death" for nothing.

Re: Forest Hills GTG Venue Poll Narrowed

OOOh the list is growing. We may definitely need a room for this. Perhaps a prix fixe menu might work too- could it keep costs down? It might be worth asking. Thursday night is a big night for going out. Reservations are a must

Re: Forest Hills GTG Venue Poll Narrowed

YAY! Portofino's is my absolute favorite place in the area. DH and I eat there pretty often. The garlic bread is the best!

For those of you taking the subway, you can take the E, F, V or R (G doesn't run there at that time) to 71st and Continental. Exit on the South side of Queens Blvd. Walk east on Queens Blvd. to the corner of Queens Blvd and Ascan Ave. You'll pass a Commerce bank on your way. Portofino is on the Southeast corner of Queens Blvd. and Ascan.

Valet parking is free at Portofino, although I'm not positive if they have it on weeknights or just weekends...we almost always walk there, or we take the subway.

I am so excited!!!

Yeah, we definitely need reservations. I have seen large groups sitting at very long tables when I've been there for dinner. I wonder how many people that more casual front section would hold. I've never sat up there.

Looks like Portofino wins! I'd be happy to call over or stop in and find out if we can do a set menu - if that's what people prefer. At any rate, I'll advise of our large crowd.

It was just a thought. Maybe if we had a choice of a chicken, fish, pasta, veal etc, they could work with us. Either that or it may not make a difference. I would hate to have someone arrange something and have people not show up. They may ask for a minimum count. Geez as if planning weddings wasnt enough for all of us.
