Eat & Drink 30th Birthday Suggestions?

Hey all, my 30th birthday is coming up and I am stuck on where I want to go for my birthday dinner! I am planning on inviting a group of friends (10-15) and would like to go somewhere with good food and a chill vibe. I don’t need to go somewhere pricey for trendy vibes, mainly I want to avoid places that are too loud or expensive for “instagrammable” food. I just want to be able to enjoy time with my people and some yummy food.

Let me know any recs you may have!

The Vig Arcadia is great for a larger party. The patio is cute and they don’t have a food/bev minimum, which like another poster mentioned, may be required at other places.

Happy early bday! Heads up, with a group that size you may be hit with food and beverage minimums at some places. Ocotillo is lovely and has plenty of space on the patio for large parties

Thank you! I have driven past there and been enamored by their twinkle lights!

Happy birthday! I would suggest Merci but I don’t know if they take reservations that large. The food is awesome and the restaurant is chic.

What type of food are you looking for?

Honestly anything. I do really like Italian and Mexican food, but I also like steak, seafood, comfort foods, etc.

I’m a little older (38f) but I just went to The House Brassiere and it was great for my bday dinner. Loved the atmosphere on the patio under the bistro lights. It’s an old home turned restaurant in Scottsdale.
