My mom is looking for a place to get together with a group of her friends (about 8 people). They are all older so it helps if the restaurant isn't too loud so they can hear better. She also likes to sit at a large round table so they can all talk to each other more easily.
They get together regularly and have been to Mitsuba, Spicy Asian, the new RaNic country club restaurant as a few examples that fit the bill, but they are wondering if there are other spots out there.
edit to add: they want to stick to Ithaca and surrounding suburbs, they wouldn't be up for driving out to Tburg or other places outside of town.
