Portland meeting - Restaurant w/ a room for 16

[onehsancare]

I'm in charge (self-appointed--the last time someone else planned a dinner meeting I was more than disappointed) of finding a restaurant with a separate room for a dinner meeting of 16. It's a budget meeting, so it's not one I'd be comfortable doing in a main dining room.

I've called Wildwood, Park Kitchen, clarklewis, and more (not keeping good notes to start). Most places don't have a room, or if they have a room, it's not available October 6. (That's a Thursday.)

We get to Portland so seldom, I wanted something wonderful.

Ideas?

Might try Tabla. Not sure whether it will fit 16

Noble Rot

El Gaucho.

The first place I thought of was Tabla, but I think Albert maybe right in the size of the room might not acommodate. Others which come to mind, although the food in my opinion isn't as good are:

Portland City Grill, Harrison and Mama Mia's Trattoria, which are all in the SW Area of Downtown

Hope that helps.

I've been looking at the Heathman Private Dining option. The downside: in addition to the food & gratuity, there's a set-up fee AND a room rental; the upside: the menus were interesting and gave us lots of options.

Any experience with the Heathman?

Heathman is very good. I have eaten there 4 or 5 times over the past year and have had very good to excellent meals there.

Another place which I think has a private dining room upstairs from the main room is Pazzo's. And there food is very good.

We have private rooms at Harrison that sound like what you're looking for. I like to think the food is good also, especially the desserts.
