- milestone birthday buyout, party of 36
I booked Dinner Party for my husband’s milestone birthday and hosted 36 friends by reserving the entire restaurant for 2.5 hours. I coordinated with the team from a month in advance, and they were all wonderful to work with. Everything ran smoothly and exactly as planned. The food was delicious, the space was cozy, and it truly felt like an intimate dinner party at home. The five course tasting menu was served as cocktail style bites and was perfect for the evening. I can’t wait to go back and try more from their other menus.
- wedding
We got married at Dinner Party this week and we couldn’t ask for a better venue. The ambiance, the food, the staff were all 10/10! Mike, Hayley and Katherine are incredible, they are highly communicative and supportive. They let us choose cocktails, and food options for our wedding, they were so flexible and made every single guest feel welcome. We were honored to share our most special moments with Dinner Party. Thank you!
- rehearsal dinner
My partner and I visit Dinner Party regularly, and we recently hosted our rehearsal dinner there! We couldn't imagine a more perfect evening. The atmosphere is so beautiful and warm, with lovely flower arrangements, music, candles, and hand-written place-cards. The food is always incredible: delicious and seasonal, simple yet creative. The service is so thoughtful and kind, from the planning process until the end of the night, they made everything fun and easy. We're so happy with our experience!
- birthday dinner, party of 8
Couldn’t recommend Dinner Party more and already eagerly waiting to return. I planned a dinner to celebrate mine and my two friends’ birthdays, and Dinner Party was the perfect place for our group of 8. It’s really nice having a prix fix menu; you spend more time enjoying everyone’s company and the dishes came out in a timely manner. Our server Wills was really friendly and patient with our “we’re that group of loud friends”, but everyone else there was also welcoming. Food was delicious; I think the crowd favorite was the salad with avocado, papaya, and passionfruit. The fish was a touch salty for some (might have been the addition of the miso compound butter) Drinks were also great; Golden Buzz was quite popular, espresso martini was delicious, and I enjoyed my Pet Nat. Know before you go: menu rotates every two weeks and is posted online (they have vegetarian substitutes if needed), Tuesday Prix Fixe price is cheaper at $64/pp, if you want to book a larger party, you’ll have to pay advance in full (including tax an tip) and then pay for your drinks the day of.
- birthday dinner
The food was excellent, and our server was warm, attentive, and very thoughtful in helping us select a wonderful bottle of wine for the table. I also greatly appreciated how carefully my allergies were accommodated, which made the experience much more comfortable and enjoyable. The location itself is very cozy and intimate, a perfect setting for a night of laughing with friends. That said, I do want to share one piece of feedback. As this was my birthday celebration, I had been looking forward to the moment when the cake would be presented at the table. Unfortunately, the cake had already been cut before being brought out, which took away from what was meant to be a very special part of the evening and left me feeling extremely disappointed. To their credit, the team did try to make up for it on the spot with a round of shots and by waiving the cake-cutting fee, which I appreciated. However, I also sent a note to the team afterward and never heard back, which was especially disappointing since communication had initially been so strong. Overall, I truly enjoyed the food, service, cozy atmosphere, and hospitality, and I hope this feedback helps ensure future celebrations are even more memorable for guests.
