Fine-ish and family appropriate dining in Santa Cruz?

LocationSpecificWeddingPlanningFilter (again): Suggestions for rehearsal dinners in Santa Cruz, CA?

My fiance and I chose to get married at a hotel here, because they took care of 80% of the details. Unfortunately, we're not familiar with the Santa Cruz at all, and finding a restaurant that will take 40-50 people on a Friday night (rehearsal dinner) or Saturday night (post-big reception, family-only dinner) is a bit bewildering. We're open to all genres of food, but are hoping to keep it in the $20-$30/person range. Thanks!

Maybe the Cafe Mare (Italian Restaurant)? I've never been there but they can accommodate banquets and are in your price range.

The only place I've been to for a wedding reception in SC is the Chaminade, but it's far too expensive. Oy vey.

our friends just got married there this weekend. they included a list of restaurants on their wedding blog (scroll down a bit), ranging from casual to nice. I would start there. and congratulations!
