Corporate Dinners & Meetings
Client dinners, board meetings, and team offsites for groups arriving from the convention center or O’Hare. Presentation-ready A/V, a room with a door, and a menu that doesn’t need explaining.
Semi-private rooms from 28 to 64 seats, patio takeovers, and full buyouts to 300 — five minutes from the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center and fifteen from O’Hare.
Mezze down the middle of the table, oysters from the raw bar, wood-grilled mains, and a bar team that can build a pairing for any of it. Saltwater sits inside Parkway Bank Park with its own semi-private rooms, two patios, and the option to take the whole restaurant — which is why it works for a fifteen-person client dinner and a three-hundred-person holiday party alike.
Client dinners, board meetings, and team offsites for groups arriving from the convention center or O’Hare. Presentation-ready A/V, a room with a door, and a menu that doesn’t need explaining.
November and December book early and book out. Semi-private rooms for a department, the full restaurant for the whole company, and passed mezze that keeps a standing reception moving.
Daytime seatings in the Mediterranean Room or on the garden patio in season, with a set menu, a sparkling pour, and enough table for the gifts.
Family-style down a long table — hummus and spreads, a raw bar tower, and mains served to share. Toasts welcome; the room is yours for the night.
Standing receptions for conference arrivals and wedding weekends. Passed bites, a dedicated bar, and a patio when the weather allows.
Milestone dinners that run long. Bring a cake or let the kitchen handle dessert; either way nobody is rushing you out of the room.
Choose the setting that fits — from an intimate dinner to a patio reception to the whole restaurant.

Up to 300 guests with a full restaurant buyout. Individual spaces seat between 28 and 64, and rooms can be combined — tell us the headcount and we will tell you what fits.
Yes. Our events team builds custom menus and beverage pairings around your group, your budget, and any dietary needs in the party. The published event menu is a starting point, not a limit.
No — the Island Patio and Garden Patio are seasonal and close for the winter. For November and December events we book the Mediterranean Room, the Island Creek bar level, or a full buyout.
