Frequently Asked Questions About Private Dining in the Twin Cities
Where can I find restaurants with private dining rooms in the Twin Cities?
This guide includes restaurants in Minneapolis, St. Paul and suburbs including Bloomington, Edina, Maple Grove, Wayzata and Woodbury.
What is the difference between private and semi-private dining?
A private room is reserved for your group and separated from other diners. A semi-private space gives your group a designated area, but other guests may be nearby. Ask the restaurant whether its space has a door, curtain or open entrance if privacy matters for your event.
Which restaurants have private rooms for a small group?
Spoon and Stable has a room for dinner for up to 12 guests, while 6Smith lists a private room that seats up to 14. Several other restaurants in the guide have spaces for groups of about 10 to 20.
Are there private dining spaces for 100 or more guests?
Yes. Hell’s Kitchen lists rooms seating up to 135 and 160 guests. 6Smith lists a private rooftop that seats up to 130 guests during its seasonal availability. Confirm the capacity for your preferred table arrangement before booking.
How much does private dining cost?
Pricing depends on the restaurant, date, group size and menu. Ask for a written estimate showing any room rental fee, food and beverage minimum, service charge, tax and deposit. A food and beverage minimum is the amount your group must spend, even if its orders total less.
How far in advance should I book a private dining room?
Contact restaurants as soon as you have a likely date and guest count, especially for weekends or holiday gatherings. Availability varies, and the venue can tell you when it needs your final guest count and menu choices.
Can I book an outdoor private dining space?
Some restaurants offer patios or rooftops for events. For example, 6Smith lists its private rooftop as available from April through October. Ask about weather plans and whether an indoor space is included in your reservation.
What should I confirm before booking?
Confirm whether the space is fully private or semi-private, its capacity for your planned setup, accessibility, parking, menu options, food and beverage minimum, fees, deposit and cancellation terms. Get the details in writing before paying a deposit.
