Parhelion 0 Report post Posted December 27, 2008 Hello, I'm searching for a downtown restaurant for a rehearsal dinner. Ideally, we could rent out a room/private space for about 20 people max. The wedding is at Fountain Street Church, and, while I'd prefer a downtown location, any nice place will do (for example, does Naya have a separate area?). While I plan to research this myself in the next week or two, I figure the best resource I can find is fellow UP'ers! I am looking for a place that: 1) would showcase the city's great restaurants, and 2) have a private area where we could dine. Any suggestions are welcome. Have you ever been to a good one? Please let me know, thanks in advance!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Veloise 46 Report post Posted December 27, 2008 Good ceremony venue choice (typed a FSC member). Depending on your budget, Charley's Crab (view of the river) or the Rockwell/Republic pair (reviews on the latter in this thread: http://www.urbanplanet.org/forums/Restaura...tml&st=900).

downtownGRguy 0 Report post Posted December 31, 2008 I have not been to the upstairs space at San Chez, so I can't comment on the space. The food of course and service is awesome there in general. I know Bistro Bella Vita has a private space as well, though IIRC it may be bigger than what you are looking for. Food and service there are always good also. If anyone is a member of the GRAM you might inquire there as well, for a very interesting venue, i am not sure how the food is. I think Louis Bentons has a private room also. Oh..just remembered Bar Divini have some private spaces, I think they are in a gallery next door. I have not done an event there either, but their food is very good, and service always seems good also. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
