Rehearsal Dinner near Renaissance

Can anyone give me some recommendations for restaurants that are walking distance from the Renaissance Hotel? We are looking for a place to have a rehearsal dinner for a group of about 20.

My choices:
CILO
Pinchos- outdoors. They can close for a private party. OMG view is to die for.
Casa Tua at Renn Market or Casa Tua Mediterranean. I think the Med. still has the flamingo dancers.
El Guacho will give you a room with 2 large tables and have the singers serenade you.
Have fun deciding.

To help narrow this down.....please describe what would be your ideal spot (indoors, outdoors, type of food, price, need for a private room).

I would seriously look at Pinchos. It is a short walk and a terrific outdoor restaurant on a pier. We had dinner there one night while a rehearsal dinner was going on and it looked great-private enough and they had live music for a few hours for the party. Pretty setting, good food, and very friendly staff - espaecially Anabel, the owner.

Does anyone know of a website or email for Pinchos? I would like to contact them but I am unable to find a website for them.

Our group will be about 20 people and we would like to keep it at no more than $30 per person. We are open to indoors or outdoors, probably leaning more towards outdoors or at least a nice view.

i don't see a website either.

i think most of pinchos is outdoor seating, maybe all.
i haven't been to pinchos in probably 10 yrs.
it's a great spot.
nice view of the water and incoming planes.

i am moving this to the culinary section.

pinchosgrill@setarnet.aw is an e-mail address I have used in the past. I have also dealt with them via phone with no problem. The web site I had no longer works.

All outdoor....fabulous sunset view, best anywhere near Renaissance.

Reasonably priced. Modest entrees.

We went to a rehearsal dinner at Pincho's a couple of years ago and it was fantastic. They did a private dinner just for our group so we had the entire place to ourselves. They had a nice buffet of food set up, open bar, and a small band (I'm sure you can have any type of combination of these things that you want.) But it's a beautiful setting for a dinner/special event, their food is great, and the owners are wonderful to work with.
