Please help with b-day plans

So FH was trying to surprise me on my 30th with having a birthday dinner with our friends. But he started to stress and had to tell me. Since we just don't have it like that and can't pay for everyone. We went looking around for places that would do something pr-fixed for the party. Is that cheesy it would be $34 pp and it will included soda, family style appetizer, salad, and a 3 choice dinner, coffee,tea,capp., and they will cut our cake that we will bring.
Since xmas is so close with thought it would be easier to keep the cost down, what do you think?
