Social gatherings include birthdays, reunions, and company team building events. In each case, we'll want a space that's inviting, with extra room for any planned activities.

The conversations of regular diners won't intrude on your meal and any presentations or games you plan won't bother them.

The venue operators can assist you with that once you've decided on the theme.
