We use people's houses. Generally, the older member's houses - they have the nice big ones - or the houses of younger members who don't quite have kids yet. The biggest distraction is the occasional husband wandering through. I agree though that is little kids are running around (and interrupting), that's a bad idea.
A restaurant is nice once in a while, but it gets expensive.
We tend to have a core group of people who serve on the board and regularly show up. Of course that group changes over time, but I know how hard it is to start a new core group - that's what we're trying to do in my college alum association. You have to bring in quite a few people, with the expectation that at most one in three will stick with it.
