Hi! I am looking for some restaurant recommendations that are good for large parties. Here are the guidelines that I am using:

-- T Accessible.
-- Parking is not a complete nightmare...so Newbury area is probably out.
-- Able to seat a party of 15 on a Tuesday night.
-- Takes reservations.
-- Not too pricey. Wide range of price points on the menu would be helpful. So you could get an app for under $10 or a meal for up to $20.
-- Must serve alcohol. Beer/wine ok, but full bar preferred.

Thanks for your help!!

Magiannos, a great restaurant for large groups, they have a family style option which allows a big group to order lots of food and leaves everyone satisfied. Very T accessible and in my opinion not pricey at all.

The Melting Pot is another restaurant that is a stones throw from Magianno's. It's a fondue restaurant, so a different type of dining experience but definitely able to accomodate a large group (our group was 9) and it was a blast. A bit pricey for the $20 range you wanted.

Cactus Club was another place I ventured too with a very large group (24). Mexican food, in case the name didn't give it away, and is definitely T accessible (Green line).

I'm pretty sure most larger restaurants can accomodate 15 people on a Tuesday night...

I have to agree with johnath. Those are 2 very good places and Tempo is a good place. I have never been to Magianno. I do not like places that serve family style. You might as well stay home and cook. I am also weary about reviews that say a lot of food and not pricey.
There are a lot of foodies out there. What are your opinions?

How about the Mt Vernon in Somerville (just outside Sullivan Square, Charlestown). I believe it fits all your criteria.

Have you considered The Summer Shack? The Cambridge location is next to Alewife station, and has parking. The Back Bay location is near the Green line, and validates parking in the garage (it was $5 last time I went). I had my rehearsal dinner at the Cambridge location, with 45 people ranging from 2 to 80+, and they all loved it. It was casual and fun, with seafood.

Christopher's in Cambridge has a function room and reasonably-priced food. It's very close to the Porter Square T stop. I don't know about parking.

Joe's American Bar and Grill on the Waterfront is near a bunch of garages, and the Blue line. The food is okay, and they can accomodate large parties.

Maggiano's is good for large groups, near parking and the Green Line. Boylston is being renovated, so getting there by T is confusing. I went there in May for a graduation dinner, and everyone got lost on the way.
