I did some more snooping and this seems like a good biergarten option in
west sac:

If people wanna do a coffee shop most of the Temple locations have
pretty good hours:

I've never tried chocolate fish so I have no idea what the group
accommodations are like.
I can say for a fact the Fair Oaks & Munroe Temple doesn't have big
tables, but maybe midtown is better?
River City Brewing is pretty close by to me in Carmichael, It's a part
of the Milagro CentreTM
which is one of those standalone food court type deals:

https://milagrocentre.com/
The Milagro Centre also has standalone event space, lord knows what the
pricing is like.
Also the hours at River City Brewing are not great, I reckon we want an
envelope of 2.5 - 3 hours, so like 18:30-21:00?
gimme your thoughts,
sen-h.
