About this space

Prive is a small private dining venue defined by a contained, single-room layout that concentrates activity in one sheltered space.

Design: The interior has warm amber lighting from hanging globe bulbs and candlelight, a low ceiling and narrow proportions, wooden chairs and art-lined walls that create a compact, focused appearance.

Features: The space contains a fixed dining setup of tables and wooden chairs and a curtained partition that creates a separate event zone. The space provides a PA system and speakers, allows guests to use their own music or bring an external DJ, and includes Wi‑Fi, air conditioning and natural light; a step‑free entrance provides wheelchair access.

Ideal for: Groups seeking an intimate, seated long-table dinner or a relaxed, social reception where music and mingling are part of the plan.

What sets it apart: On-site bespoke catering adapts menus to dietary and cultural requests.

What guests say: The space is intimate and enjoyable. The layout allows seated dining while leaving room for mingling and food service.

Private Dining · 25 guests · January 2024
Awesome staff, great bar selection, fantastic food, and a really good environment. I planned my wife's 40th birthday party here. We hosted over 30 people for a sit-down dinner. The owners of the business were there with us through the night ensuring everything went smoothly. Everyone had a great experience.
I think a handful of people didn't get enough food.

Baby Shower · 40 guests · November 2023
We hosted our baby shower here and it was the perfect event. Lily and the team at Prive went above and beyond to meet our specific needs and fulfill all our wishes. The party was everything we could've dreamed of!

Excellent communication
I worked with Lily mostly. She was very helpful in laying out a plan for the evening for the space's layout and flow to keep it feeling lively. The bar liquor selection is very unique, which many guests appreciated. Lily also catered to a few typical requests that weren't really necessary (e.g. we asked for a themed drink that barely anyone ordered because the bar selection is so great). The food was also very well prepared. We had a few people feel like they didn't get enough of the main course, but that was probably because we opted for a family-dinner style, and some people took more than they were supposed to. The space is awesome for both a sit down dinner (first half) and then standing area for drinks (back half).
