FAQs about Top Restaurants with Private Rooms in Palo Alto, CA
Book early, avoid peak nights like Fridays or Saturdays if you can, and go for lunch instead of dinner (rates are often lower).
Venues like Dinah's Garden Hotel have flat hire fees starting at $250, so it's perfect if you want a private space without a big food and drink commitment.
You can also message venues directly on Tagvenue and ask if there's wiggle room on prices—sometimes it works.
You've got upscale Mediterranean (like Evvia Estiatorio), Peruvian (Lima Ruby), Burmese, Italian, Spanish tapas, and even spots like Shiok Singapore Kitchen for something more casual but flavour-packed.
Most spots are cool with it as long as you don't show up with a fog machine and confetti cannons. For example, many venues will let you bring your own flowers, table settings, or party favors, especially if you're booking a private room. Just double-check with the manager ahead of time so there are no surprises on the day.
If you're doing a seated dinner, aim for a space that gives each person at least 1–1.5 square metres. So for a group of 30, you'll want something that seats at least that many, but don't stress about getting the size perfect—many places like Zola + BarZola or The Sea by Alexander's Steakhouse offer flexible layouts and can shuffle tables to suit you. If it's more of a standing mingle with cocktails, you can get away with a bit less room.
