rehearsal dinner?

I am on a tight budget (like everyone haha) and I need to plan my rehearsal dinner for approx. 20 people.

Any ideas of where I could go near Patchogue/Medford/Holbrook/Bayport/Bluepoint area???

Mamas in Holbrook or Oakdale
(not Lombardis)
Lombardis is good though, approx $30pp. You might be able to get a better deal at the other Mamas next door.

Try Snapper Inn (Oakdale)

Sonamo Grill
In Oakdale.. on Sunrise Highway

It is funny, I was just think ing about this, I don't think I want to spend a lot on this since I have a huge BP.

Here is a few ideas:

When I went to three rehearsal dinners, all were really nice..
1. Was at the Brides house inside b/c it rained, she had her family cook and we had a ball (about 30 people).
2. Was at the Bride & Groom's house (they just bought) they had pizza and beer and a game night (BM vs GM) just for the bridal party (about 1 week before the wedding b/c she was getting married at the hall & they felt practice was not needed), it was again a great time (about 20 people).
3. Was actually my sisters, she had it at a Chinese buffet that had a nice separate area, we came right after rehearsal and she had our whole family there (about 40 people). It came to like $500!
All of these to me where inexpensive and all came out great. Just a thought if you are really on a tight budget and a restaurant is too much.

I think we're going to have ours at Painter's in Brookhaven. Reasonably priced and very different...which we love.
