Private Dining

We offer private dining options to accommodate a variety of special events, from an intimate party of four to a gala for 500. Our exceptional cuisine, graceful service, and central location make Oceana the perfect destination for business functions and personal celebrations alike.

Our unique settings include The Wine Room, The Grand Salon, and The Chef’s Table. The Park at Oceana provides an outdoor alternative on the weekends during the warmer months. Our staff can also customize cocktail and hors d'oeuvres events in our cafe and bar areas, and the entire restaurant can be made available for private affairs.

THE WINE ROOM
Named for its floor-to-ceiling display of Oceana’s magnificent wine selection, this room presents a dramatic backdrop for events with up to 18 guests. Curtained glass walls admit the natural light and ambience of the main dining room while ensuring the group’s complete privacy. The subtle aquatic decor of the restaurant is carried through in the Aqua Creation lighting fixtures that float overhead like luminescent jellyfish.

THE GRAND SALON
This airy space offers the most variety of configurations, with a maximum accommodation of 80 guests seated or 120 guests standing. The Grand Salon can be divided into two separate rooms by a substantial wood-paneled wall that slides out of view when not in use.

As separate rooms, Salon North can accommodate a maximum of 30 seated guests, and Salon South a maximum of 50. Each room includes a door leading to The Park, Oceana’s outdoor area, presenting more opportunities to expand your event activities. For instance, groups can enjoy outdoor cocktail receptions in The Park and move inside for a seated dinner.

THE CHEF’S TABLE
Set inside the bustling kitchen, this private table for four offers a unique view of Executive Chef Ben Pollinger and his team in action. Guests enjoy an intimate dining experience with a special, behind-the-scenes look at the care and craftsmanship that go into the preparation of our dishes. Special tasting menus can be arranged for your pleasure.

THE PARK AT OCEANA
In the warmer months, The Park at Oceana offers an outdoor
venue for cocktails and hors d’oeuvres for up to 500 guests.


Under the direction of Private Dining Director Senta Connolly, our event staff can assist with planning every detail for the most elegant and memorable event.
