Catch LA handles large groups better than almost anywhere in the area — the menu is designed for sharing, the tables can be configured for big parties, and the energy suits a celebration.
BOA Steakhouse is a natural fit for birthday groups — the staff are great about making people feel celebrated, the menu has crowd-pleasing range, and the room has enough energy for a party.
For groups of 8 or more, book 2 weeks ahead minimum and call rather than booking online — many restaurants have private dining or semi-private sections for large parties that don't appear in reservation systems.
