GREETINGS! Did you know that The Gander, in addition to being an exciting neighborhood restaurant, has a large private dining room that can accommodate groups both large and small for your upcoming special event? Our private dining room is on the lower level of the restaurant and features it’s own expansive bar and restrooms. Leather club chairs in chic seating arrangements create a luxurious lounge area ideal for cocktails and conversation. Soft curtains separate the space, offering designated zones for dining and mingling. The room also features a large flat screen SmartTV©, perfect for presentations or videos, making it an ideal space for corporate functions, family gatherings, and celebrations alike.
PRIVATE DINING
Organizing a private event in Manhattan can be an overwhelming experience. There are many restaurants to choose from, but few that offer a completely private dining experience with a “private club ambiance.” While we offer a number of different packages for luncheons, seated dinners, and cocktail receptions, we are always open to customizing a menu taking your wishes and budget into account. Whether planning a tailored wine dinner with a chef’s tasting menu, or a special celebration with entertainment, we are capable of hosting events for all occasions. We take a special and personal interest in every event held at The Gander, understanding that each event is unique, and are willing to go above and beyond to meet our clients’ needs. I look forward to taking you on a tour of our friendly establishment. Please don’t hesitate to contact me at any time. Best,
Allison Pryce Manager / Director of Private Dining
