Chop is also a great choice. But it's in Richmond. They have a private room next to the lounge but I am not sure if that will fit 20 ppl.

I think Sanafir is also a great choice. It's a matter of finding a place still have 20 seats available on Sat nite.

I just called to make a reservation for a lunch party. I was told that the private room in the lounge at CHOP can sit 12 ppl. 15% service charges will be added to big parties.
I already went to Chop last month, too expensive and I didn't like it. I just called the Cannery and made reservations. Thanks everyone for your suggestions.
It says on their website that they will reveal details of their new location in fall 2009. I think everything (food, chef) would be the same, just the location would be changed since they are forced to move because "The Vancouver Fraser Port Authority (VFPA) has announced that it will not renew leases for non container-related businesses within the port for security and operational reasons after 2010."
