I am absolutely thrilled to recommend Harry’s Essential Grille at 8521 Leesburg Pike, Vienna, VA 22182

For a private party call 703.752.2693 and ask to speak with Chef William Conway. The room seated 22 very comfortably – but a party as small as 10 would not be lost in the room, and you might be able to go to as many as 30.

My husband and I selected from the standard menu – two appetizers, three salad options, four entree selections, and four desserts – they printed a menu and our guests individualized their orders.

Food was fantastic, service and presentation excellent. . . and all for about $40 a person

Call Chef Conway today!!

There is a room at Zola’s that can be closed off and fits about 15 people. There is a smaller room at Poste (very cool) and also one at the Oval Room

Acadiana has a back room that can apparently be partitioned into two rooms, one of which looks like a 8-25 capacity.

that’s a pretty comprehensive list you already have. you had two of my suggestions already.

i can add to his by noting the JW Marriott on Pennsylvania has a private dining room (I think they refer to it as a wine cellar) between their 1331 lounge and avenue grill.

I believe the Fillmore Room at the Boulevard Woodgrill can be private, with doors shut, and opened only for service.

Let’s call it anywhere from 8-15. Basically, one or two tables of guests.

When you say “host a private dinner” but you don’t mean a banquet hall, what’s the actual range of people you’re thinking of?
