Hi! Thank you for your interest in Sarah Street Grill. We would absolutely love to host your party. Here are a few details to help you with your planning. We have an upstairs dining room that can accommodate up to 85 people comfortably. We have fit up to 100. We sometimes will do smaller functions in the downstairs dining rooms as well, depending on the day of the week and time of day. We often do parties around 30 to 40 people in the upstairs dining area. In this case, we generally use the back half of the room, using small partitions to provide you with a bit more privacy. Often during the afternoon hours, we will not have to seat other patrons in the front half of that room, but during dinner hours we usually will still need to utilize that space. If you wanted your function to be private, we require a minimum of 50 seats paid for. Most larger parties choose a buffet style menu. Depending on which buffet option you choose, there is either a 20 or 25 person minimum. The Buffets include salad, entrée options, dessert, coffee, tea and fountain drinks. You will see that we also offer sushi platter add-ons if you’d like. We can also start your group off with a vegetable, cheese or fruit tray or you could pre-selected appetizers which would be ready when your guests arrive. Often hosts ask for plated dinners and limited menu options, which is no problem. You just need to aware that not all of your guests will necessarily receive their meals all at the same time. Let’s say for example there is 40 people in your group. Most likely we would have you set up as 4 tables of 10. The last table may receive their food 20 minutes after the first table. If this was your preference, we would hand pick roughly 5 items that you would like to offer to your guests. In addition, we can do a more casual, cocktail reception with hors d’oeuvres and finger food for special occasions too. We really are willing to work with you on the specific needs of your event. But, all in all, the buffet options seem to work great when serving a large group.
