Salty's on the Columbia River

Copy Link

This Northeast Portland seafood restaurant, perched over the Columbia River, offers a variety of options when it comes to private dining: Visitors can rent out the North Shore View Room, which seats 150; for something a little more intimate, the wine room seats 30, as does the covered deck on nice days. Options range from brunches to full wedding receptions; those interested can check out the website.

Campana

Copy Link

Once upon a time, Campana was an Italian pop-up in a little nook off the main dining room at Grand Army Tavern; now, Campana has taken over the entire space, and those interested can rent out the room adjacent to the main dining area that once hosted the pop-up. The restaurant hosts three- or four-course, family-style meals in that space, with $75 per person minimums for Friday and Saturday events, and $60 per person minimums for Wednesday, Thursday, and Sunday events. Menus range from “red-sauce”-style meals of penne alla vodka and mussels fra diavolo to choose-your-own-adventure meals with options like shrimp scampi and seasonal risotto. Learn more about your options here.

Amalfi's Italian Restaurant

Copy Link

This longstanding Northeast Fremont Italian restaurant hosts weddings, dinners, and holiday parties in its pretty Chianti Room, with arched windows and romantic lighting — the dinner itself can go as casual as pizzas and salad to full on buffets of pastas and antipasti.

Ringside Steakhouse

Copy Link

Known for its James Beard-beloved onion rings, prime rib, and in-house dry aging program, Portland’s venerated Burnside steakhouse offers two separate options for private dining. For something particularly intimate, Ringside’s Wine Room surrounds up to 18 seated diners with brick and bottles of wine, ideal for things like rehearsal dinners. The semi-private Barrel Room, designed to look and feel like a wine cellar, can seat up to 40, with room for 65 during a standing reception. The team at Ringside will also help with things like floral arrangements, helpful for wedding dinners.

This Naito Parkway restaurant’s sibling private event space is so private, it’s a block away, at 50 SW Pine Street. The Lobby by Lechon host up to 24 guests, with a variety of menu options — snacks of shrimp ceviche and brisket empanadas served mid-cocktail party, family-style tapas of flank steak with piquillo pepper romesco or grilled octopus with chorizo, or even a full tasting menu, complete with smoked bone marrow and pan-seared scallops. Learn more about the Lobby by Lechon on its website.

Amaterra Winery

Copy Link

This expansive West Haven-Sylvan winery and restaurant is home to countless options for private dining, accommodating anywhere from eight to 200 people. Perhaps the most unique space for summertime private dining is the treehouse, an open-air, fireside space perched over the vineyard. In the winter, the gallery space is perhaps a better fit, a cozy room seating 16; the barrel room is a strong option for mid-size dinner parties, seating 30.

The private dining room of this celebrated Slavic restaurant’s new Southeast Portland location is that perfect balance of kitschy and glamorous, with plastic chandeliers and prints of great Russian classics. Throw your own Russian banquet with family-style meals starting at $60, with the option to add the restaurant’s famous caviar service for an additional fee. The dinner menu includes all of Kachka’s classics, like the restaurant’s Herring Under a Fur Coat and its house-made Siberian pelmeni.
