The busy fall and winter seasons are upon Austin, and with that comes the battle to find the best venue for a festive party. It’s always good to plan ahead for a big event, whatever the occasion (baby shower, Festivus, company off-sites, South by Southwest, a Tuesday), there is a multitude of options at Austin restaurants for parties and dinners of every size, while still ensuring that food quality is still top-notch.

Eater gathered the best of the best private dining rooms found in Austin restaurants. Celebrate with friends at the newest and trendiest or historical favorites (Jeffrey’s, Moonshine Grill). Many locations offer a host of additional services like television screens or floral arrangements (Uchiko, Fixe) perfect for those business meals, special dinner parties, or for those who — to be honest — get lost in planning every detail.

For weddings, some restaurants make for great receptions, catering spots, and wedding cake bakeries.
