Restaurant function rooms

Hello, looking for ideas for restaurants that have function rooms available for private events anywhere in Somerville or Cambridge.   Holding 100 people would be ideal, but looking for any ideas.

Chowhound's boston board usually has some searchable topics on this question - and more specifically, I'm pretty sure Dalí rents out their back room.

Christopher's in Porter has been known to rent their upstairs room out. I don't know if it holds 100.

ETA: Roughly this was asked for a smaller gathering recently. See this post.

Note; I'm having trouble posting as myself which is chairmanmeowmom. I felt strongly about this so I had to post.

I just had my wedding reception at Saloon in Davis.While I only used the room in the back, I know that other functions have been held in the main room of the bar. This is what I posted a few days ago on Yelp.

"If I could give Saloon ten stars, I would do so gladly.

My partner of 12 years proposed a few months ago and we wanted a very small wedding with a few close friends in attendance. I thought of the Foundry for my reception and Brian, the manager of Saloon suggested a room in the back for a private gathering. He gave me an extremely fair price for a sit down dinner and champagne toast. He attended to my every need and answered every question I had. Heck, he even had the chef make me a vegan dinner **even though they don't typically have vegan items on the menu** so I could sample what they could offer me. Even better, the chef came out to talk to me about the dish and offer other suggestions.

My wedding reception was a dream. I could not have asked for anything better. The staff was incredibly attentive and made sure to keep other bar guests away from our private area. In fact, I don't think I have enough words in my vocabulary to state how kind the waitstaff were to me and all of my guests. Brian checked on me about a thousand times. I felt at home at Saloon and all of my guests loved our reception.

Come to Saloon and come often. You will be treated like a Queen. The back room is much quieter than you would expect. You will be taken care of and they will not gouge you on the price of dinner. I wish I could have a reception every day, just so I could give Saloon my business each time.

I love you Saloon. Brian, you are an incredibly professional guy! Thanks for making my wedding day special!"

I cannot recommend Saloon more highly. If you speak to Brian, let him know that Lynda referred you.
