Private dining at a restaurant is one of the most popular ways of gathering people to celebrate a milestone. Though it has been around for a while, it seems that in the last few decades, these events have gained more and more popularity with people worldwide.

Since the competition is improving each year, restaurants need to step up their game and provide unique private dining experiences that other places can’t offer. And that’s what the best ones do.

Premier restaurants allow you to dine in a way other places can’t. They spend time thinking about the theme, the setting, proper lighting, special guests, and so many other vital details that will make the night whole.

And, of course, to try Miami private dining in Florida’s most famous city, visit The Gramercy.

Here are a couple of ideas of events that make sense for private dining.

Charity Fundraiser on the Patio

Having a charitable event requires a proper venue. Most likely, you’ll have a larger crowd showing up, so the patio is perfect for such an event. All of the guests and donors get to enjoy the fresh air while helping out society.

The restaurant will set tables the way you need them and help out with the organization of the event. You can take the stress off your shoulders for a while and let the managers take on some work.

Consider using the outside patio of a restaurant as a private area next time you need to organize this type of event.

Milestone Anniversary

What’s a better cause for celebration than love? Anniversaries are all about love, loyalty, and dedication. As such, they need to be celebrated properly. If you have a milestone coming up, it’s time to organize something special.

Your other half would probably enjoy having a party in your honor, so why not surprise them with a private event? 

Our lobby & dining room can be turned into the perfect locations for an anniversary party. This private area will fit all of your guests and allow them to enjoy the event. We’ll work with you and make sure the plans go the way you wish them to as well as the rest of the evening.

Chef’s Table

This is likely the most widespread form of a private dining experience. The chef’s table is a way to an incredible experience trying new food, meeting  the chef and hearing about the dishes and how they’re prepared, while learning about the details that make the composition so unique plus stories the Chef may share in regards to inspiration for a certain dish.

Usually, this type of event is held in a private area close to the kitchen. That way, there’s more exposure and chances for the guests to interact with the chef.

At Gramercy, be prepared to experience sushi & cuisine from our brasserie as you’ve never have before. Our chefs will make sure you have an experience you won’t forget easily.

At this kind of event, the chef’s job is to greet the guests, prepare and bring out the food, and explain each dish. 

Restaurants use these kinds of events to spread the good word about their business, test out dishes they’ve been working on, and give their guests an unforgettable night. Though this isn’t an ordinary marketing tactic, chef’s table events can motivate guests to share their experiences in person and on social media. 

So, don’t be surprised if one reservation brings in a few more.

Fine Dining and Drinking

Private dining at a restaurant already screams luxury. However, the feeling of extravagance can always be enhanced. High-quality food and drinks are a way to do that. With specially prepared meals that aren’t on the menu and vines that pair perfectly with what you’re serving, you can impress a whole lot of people.

And, many want exactly that from their private dining experience – to be impressed.

Restaurants sometimes overthink this, so the end result isn’t as impressive as it should be. But, those who know what they’re doing will provide you with varieties of meals you’ve heard of, some new additions to special projects, and wines that will enhance the flavor you’re eating.

The restaurant will likely have the sommelier explain each wine and recommend the perfect picks for every dish.

Don’t be afraid to ask them and the wait staff to give you a hand with stuff that isn’t your expertise. They have experience with guests and will make a better call on what you’ll love than yourself.
