👋 OH HEY 👋
Mads here! The holidays are creeping up fast, and you’ve been tasked with planning your company’s holiday party or just looking for a private dining room to host a festive dinner. Well, here are some restaurants with tucked away rooms to look into:
Damian, DTLA 🇲🇽 If you’re working with a large budget, I would book Damian’s private room for upscale Mexican food and some of the best cocktails you’ll ever have. Period.
Birdie G’s, Santa Monica 🍴 Birdie G’s during the holidays is always a fun time. I once went to a rehearsal dinner in their private room!
Musso & Frank Grill, Hollywood 🍸 For a more classic LA establishment with martinis galore.
Fig Tree, Venice 🥐 I’m obsessed with Fig Tree’s new event space next door. It’s like my Pinterest board come to life.
Agnes, Pasadena 🍽️ Agnes is my go-to in Pasadena, and their separate dining room is perfect for a cozy, yet chic event.
Great White, Melrose 🥞 Great White on Melrose (my fav location tbh) has a room off to the side that’s perfect for any larger dinner party.
Cento, West Adams 🍝 I’ve both hosted and attended many dinners at Cento’s tucked away larger table. Natural wine and spicy pomodoro, yuuum.
Loreto, Frogtown 🍹 Secure the private room at Loreto for an unforgettable night of ceviche and margaritas.
Wife & the Somm, Glassell Park 🍴 It’ll feel like you’re having a dinner party and wine tasting in a Nancy Meyers movie.
MOOHAN, Koreatown 🥩 How fun would it be to watch your boss eat KBBQ? I would check out MOOHAN because they have many private rooms.
Burgette, Santa Monica 🍔 You can rent out their entire back room space for endless smash burgers! Or even do something like this.
