| 4 Private Dining Rooms With Fireplaces |
|
It's January in Chicago, but you can ward off the chill by hosting fireside meetings or client dinners at one of these local restaurants.
1. Located in Lincoln Park, D.O.C. Wine Bar offers private wine tastings and three-to-five-course seated dinners. The venue's main dining room can seat 65 beside a wood-burning, stone-encrusted fireplace. In the rear of the space, a smaller private room—also equipped with a fireplace—can seat 15 or hold 25. When combined, the two rooms can host cocktail receptions for as many as 125. The restaurant's menu options include sesame chicken salad, maple-cured pork tenderloin, and wild mushroom meatloaf. |
