What nice restaurants take parties of up to 16 people?
I'm planning a surprise birthday for my friend but I can't find any restaurants that just take the large reservation without having to pay in advance or per person.
ANY ideas would be helpful...

I don't know where you live, but around here 16 people is not a large number. Make a reservation and enjoy, most restaurant should be more than happy to reserve for you. I can understand asking for a confirmation when you get close to the date but I have never had to pay in advance or deposit. Change venue, I am sure some restaurant will be more than please to serve you.
Pizza Hut.
all u can eat buffets
Where are you?
olive garden or applebees, if u hav those or possibly TGI Fridays
Cheesecake factory
I think that if you want to do this surprise birthday thing right, then you're going to have to bite the bullet and make a reservation someplace, pay in advance or whatever they want. Usually they want a guaranteed tip for service instead of a deposit, but depends on where you're going. I'd recommend something fun and light, such as Bucca de Beppo, Olive Garden, Max's Opera Cafe's, Spaghetti Factory, or some other local chain restaurant where the food is decent and they're greatful for the reservation. Or, you could have it at your house, buy some platters, and have the party there.

When I think of "nice" I think a little more high end. Maybe a steakhouse such as Morton's , Ruths Chris, Capital Grille. These are not inexpensive. They usually have private rooms. If you want something a little less expensive I would try Maggiano's they hace family style Italian, and except large parties. Average $20-30/person. Also a Japanese Teppanyaki, where they cook at your table is great for large parties!
McDonalds does. And as for the surprise part.........
any restaurant that you choose provided that you call ahead for a reservation...if you just show up that creates chaos for the servers and kitchen staff. so call ahead and reserve for a large group so the restaurant can add staff to make sure your table is taken care of properly and try not to book your table in the middle of their dinner rush try going at like 8 p.m. instead of 6 p.m.it will be a better time for all if the restaurant is prepared for your party.
