Group dinner suggestions

Getting together with a few couples soon, all mid-30s, and need some suggestions on where to dine! When I’m able to go out without my kid, I prefer to be a bit more adventurous than some others in the group, so I’m looking for something with a more approachable menu around $30-40/entree max that isn’t totally boring (not a basic steakhouse, for example, though it might be a pipe dream in this case). To give you a better idea, Intero would be my suggestion, but others in the group are a hard no. Prefer central to south Austin but could be flexible for the right option! To further complicate matters, this will also be Valentine’s weekend, so would definitely want a spot that takes reservations. Hoping you all can come through with a few solid recs that I may not think of on my own!
