For something a bit different I'd suggest Afghan Horsemen (where the group can sit at a normal table, or on the floor/rug/pillows). Casual, inexpensive, good for groups. Something completely different- Nyala- Ethiopian, strangely beautiful lighting (though not well lit), BUT you eat this food with your fingers and it can be spicy. A less different suggestion is Saveur- French with a fixed price menu (about $40 3 course before wine). Also good for groups with advance reservation. One with similar price and style- Accents, French with some Russian elements, though I have not been there in a while. One more idea would be somewhere in or near "Gas Town" (older part of Vancouver, if the weather is good interesting to walk around)- the trick there is to find something which is not too touristy or trendy. There is a recent place called Casis which is really good, would need to check with them about the group size. Also a Mexican place that might do, and I have heard good things about a Irish pub out there. My 1st recommendation remains the Afghan.
