How to choose Private Dining Rooms in Canberra

A private dining room gives a small group a closed door, its own service and a menu set in advance. It suits client dinners, board lunches, farewells and small family milestones where the conversation is the point.

In Civic, one fine-dining restaurant has rooms for groups as small as ten in a cellar and as large as 46 overlooking a garden, with set menus from $65 per person.

What to ask before you book a private room:

  • How many seats the room holds at one long table, as that shape is easiest for a group to talk across.
  • Whether the room is fully closed or semi-private, which matters for confidential business dinners.
  • What set menus are offered, and whether dietary needs can be met within them.
  • Whether there is a screen or presentation facility for a short talk before the meal.
  • How far ahead the room needs confirming at the year's end, when work functions fill the calendar.

For bigger groups or other formats, browse all venues, Christmas party venues or the corporate event guide.

Choosing between room sizes

  • Up to 10: a cellar-style room suits an intimate client dinner or a small anniversary.
  • Around 20 to 30: a mid-sized room fits a team lunch or a farewell with a few speeches.
  • Up to 46: a garden-facing room takes a larger seated group without hiring the whole restaurant.

Making a client dinner run smoothly

  • Pre-order or choose a set menu so service does not interrupt the discussion.
  • Agree a start and finish time with the restaurant.
  • Settle billing in advance, especially if the company is paying on account.
  • In winter, ask for a room away from doors that open onto the cold.
