Marketplace at Theater Square has many private places, inside and out. And - if it's semi-formal - I would put it and Seviche above Coals! May sound funny for a "foodie", but we've had rehearsal dinner and semi-formal parties at both Pat's Steakhouse (private upstairs room) and at Morton's (private room at side), and food was spectacular with every single steak cooked perfectly!
Also, for semi-formal, all of the bigger hotels (Marriott, 21C, Seelbach, Brown) have rooms the right size, although costs may be a tad higher.
We had a wedding at the Marriott, and they were a joy to work with (did whole gourmet menu from scratch - it wasn't a "pick one from column a" type of deal), but have been at equivalent parties at Marketplace that were wonderful (and, even tho it's a chain, this is what Morton's does: event cooking of perfect meat).
