Perhaps look for a restaurant that hosts groups like Rotary or 
Toastmasters. They are happy to provide space for a group, particularly 
if that group wants to have breakfast, lunch or dinner, or maybe just 
dessert. Some will have Wi-Fi. I attended a Toastmasters meeting once at 
an Elmer's, that has since been torn down. But some still exist. They 
had a section that could be closed off from the main dining room, too.
