Private Events & Group Dining in Rosemont

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.

Saltwater Coastal Grill

A coastal room for the dinner you have to get right.

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.

What we host

Every table has a reason.

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.

Holiday Parties

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.

Bridal & Baby Showers

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.

Rehearsal Dinners

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.

Welcome Receptions

Standing receptions for conference arrivals and wedding weekends. Passed bites, a dedicated bar, and a patio when the weather allows.

Birthdays & Celebrations

Milestone dinners that run long. Bring a cake or let the kitchen handle dessert; either way nobody is rushing you out of the room.

Signature Spaces

Choose the setting that fits — from an intimate dinner to a patio reception to the whole restaurant.

Before you inquire

Private Event Questions

What is the largest group you can host?

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.

Can we build a custom menu?

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.

Are the patios available year-round?

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.

Do you have A/V for presentations?

Yes. The rooms are presentation-ready, we can support a DJ, and there is on-site concierge support during your event so nobody is hunting for a cable.

How far in advance should we book a holiday party?

Earlier than feels necessary. November and December dates go first, and the prime evenings are usually claimed by late summer. If you are reading this in July, you are on time.

Where do guests park?

Free parking with validation in the garage next door. Valet runs on weekends at our back door, and rideshare drops off on Bryn Mawr Avenue, steps from the main entrance.

How quickly will someone get back to me?

Within one business day. Send your headcount, a few possible dates, and roughly what the evening should feel like — you will get menus, availability, and a recommendation back.

Can we see an event menu first?

Yes — the full event menu is linked at the top of this page, and the events team will send a version priced for your group with the proposal.
