California Grill for Wedding Rehearsal?

[spanky0601]

Has anyone ever had a rehearsal dinner at California Grill?
We will probably have a group of 20 for the rehearsal dinner, would they allow that?
What would be the best time for the reservation? Early evening or Late evening?

Thanks for all your help!

Large groups are sat at 5:30pm(early sitting) and I think 9pm ish for the late sitting.

You could consider one of the private rooms, they have a minimum(especially the smaller room) but with 20 people at the Cali Grill I don't think it would be to hard to hit it. I think our bill for 4 of us last time was around $350(appetizer, salad, main course, desert and 2 glasses of wine).

Hello,

We did our rehearsal dinner at California Grill this past Friday. It was wonderful. We had about 40 people, so we had the Napa Room over there. We had our dinner around 7:30 in the evening and we were there for a good while eating great food, and being generally festive

Thanks for your help! What's the minimum for Napa Room? And would 20 people seem too small for that room? I've never seen that room in person.

I think it seats up to 50...The Sonoma Room I think is a bit smaller. We did an evening meal, so that minimum expenditure was $3,000.

Hope that helps!

We held ours in the Napa room; we invited everyone so the group was around 45 people (I think the food/bar total came in around 7000$). The space and set up were perfect. Plus our coordinator had the food, etc timed so that we could all go watch the fireworks. It was an amazing way to kick off our wedding gathering!!
