So whether you’re celebrating your mother’s retirement or having a wedding luncheon, look into The Corner Restaurant for large groups. Menu favs: the small plates here steal the show, so be sure to order the Pamaw’s Green Salad, the country-fried cauliflower, and the warm artichoke dip. For entrees, order the Midway Burger and the fish and chips. 

4. Cortona Italian Cafe

Cortona can seat up to 12 people comfortably depending on the night and how far in advance you make your reservation. Menu favs: the best thing on the menu is their housemade pasta, we also love their chicken parmesan and the potato gnocchi. If you want to indulge in the housemade lasagna, you’ll need to order it a day in advance. P.S. don’t forget to leave room for gelato!

Menu favs: from the shareable menu, we recommend the beets and burrata, citrus cured hamachi, or the shrimp shumai.
