A little further away than you wanted but the Spain Restaurant (actual
name) on 13th (btwn 6th & 7th Ave) will fit all of your other
requirements nicely. They have a larger dining room in the back with
large tables. Food is really good and affordable and they put
complimentary appetizers in front of you as soon as you sit.

If walking is a requirement it is less than 1 1/2 miles from Grand
Central to the restaurant which would be a 30 minute walk and you could
enjoy the city during the walk.
