Planning a baby shower

Hi!  St. Louis nestie here.  I'm trying to plan a shower for my college roommate.  The shower needs to be in the northwestern suburbs (Des Plaines/Rosemont area).  We're looking for a place with a private room that can hold around 40 people.  My friend's MIL had suggested Manzo's, but I was hoping for more of a brunch place (and less of a banquet hall).  Any ideas?

    Pina's Culinary Experience in Roselle, IL. (about 10 min from Des Plaines) is wonderful - I hosted my sister's bridal shower there.  The owners are the nicest people and are willing to work with you on menu selection, cake, drinks, etc.  Not to mention it's much more affordable (from what I learned searching for places) than most places and only a few years old! ;)

    It's a beautiful space that is not banquet hall-ish at all - it's got 2 rooms - the room we used for the shower was the side room which is newly remodeled (the pic on the site is just the front entrance room). 

    If you'd like to see the pics from my sister's shower to get an idea of the space, you can do so by clicking here (I was so excited about it that I decided to share it on my blog):

    Hope that helps - happy planning! ;)
