Yep, that matters too. Luckily, San Diego has many dinner party venues for you to choose from.

You can hire private dining rooms, rooftop lounges, full restaurant buyouts, and bar-style venues with banquet seating style. Some places, like those in Carmel Valley or the Gaslamp Quarter, specialize in group dining experiences with fixed per-person rates, while others operate on hire fees or minimum spend arrangements.
Your hire fee could cover private use of the space, tables and seating, and sometimes AV equipment or basic staff service. For event packages, venues often include a set menu, soft drinks, and sometimes wine pairings or cocktails. Minimum spend options typically give you full flexibility on food and drink choices up to your spend limit.
Absolutely. San Diego has many venues that are perfect for smaller dinner parties, including private dining rooms and cozy bar spaces designed for groups of 20 or fewer. Places like Key and Cleaver in Fairmont Village or Alchemy-Choose Thy Poison in Barrio Logan specialise in private gatherings and have per-person pricing that can be much more affordable than larger venue hires, starting around $13 to $65 per guest. You’ll still get a dedicated space, often with custom menu options.
