Because I was laid off and not fired from my former place of employment, they’re taking me out for a farewell dinner on Tuesday night. It’s a nice gesture on their part, and I appreciate it greatly.
I’m allowed to choose the restaurant, and I must let them know my choice by Monday, October 6th. The problem is that I’ve just got too much on the brain and need help picking a place. If you’ve got suggestions, I’d like to hear them!
Some parameters:

Advice in old-timey books was just plain weird, man.

Too bad about Nota Bene, it's really nice. :)
You can take over the upstairs room at Epicure Cafe, which gives you more of a private party atmosphere. We've used it for Wiki Tuesdays and they have a pretty small minimum commitment $$ for a Tuesday night. Food is good; service can be a bit slow but probably fine for a big group since you'll be busy socializing or playing accordion.
bier bistro or c'est what would work.
How about Gandhi's?

there is a new-ish all you can eat sushi place on queen just...west of spadina i think (on the south side of queen). I'm pretty sure it's called Aji Sai. it's got a nice, slick "queen west restaurant" look to it and for $20 a person you can eat fresh sushi (its not a buffet or anything, you order off the menu) until you explode. On your lunch break or something, swing by and have a look!
...and afterwards you can head anywhere on queen for copious amounts of drinking!
My 2cents:
- The Black Bull on Queen
- Fox and Firkin on John
- Grace O'Malley on Duncan
- Gabby's on King
Morton's of Chicago on Prince Arthur? It is my favourite restaurant in town. Or what about Rodney's?
Of course, Tortilla Flats.
or
Sawatow for the food (cash only, remember) and Kensington Market for the bongs.
or
The Wheat Sheaf would be a healthy walk.
How about Queen Mother Cafe at Queen & University?
The food is yummy and reasonably priced. I recommend the Kow Soy Guy- chicken and noodles in curry/coconut milk sauce. There's also a great salad with seared tuna on it.
If that sounds too poshy, there's a hot dog cart right on the NE corner of Queen & Spad, and you can probably brew some homemade moonshine in the bottom of your green box by then.
Definitely *NOT* Terroni.
