Private Dining
Our full service restaurant has a beautiful dining room
perfectly suited for your private dinner or any occasion.

Thank you for your interest in booking your party at Abacus! I look forward to making your special party an event to be remembered. I will work with you personally to arrive at a menu that will suit your needs. Everyone here at Abacus wants your event to be special. Executive Chef Kent Rathbun has created a contemporary global menu. Pastry Chef Rick Griggs will create extraordinary desserts and fresh baked bread. Our full service restaurant has a beautiful dining room perfectly suited for your private dinner or any occasion.

For parties greater than twelve, a set menu will offer you and your guests the best evening. Our private dining menu is designed to allow you to create a custom menu. Your guests will each receive a printed menu with your choice of greeting. After you have decided on a menu, wines can be specially selected to complement your meal by our wine manager. Floral arrangements, bottled water, entertainment or other special occasion needs can further enhance your evening.

The private dining room has a seating capacity of 50. We also have a semi private room, which seats 45 and a larger non-private room, which seats 110. The entire restaurant is available exclusively and seats approximately 165. In addition to private dining, we have an award-winning chef’s table, which seats 8-12 people, and is available at no charge.

If you are interested, we are also able to put together wine dinners, cooking demonstrations, or interactive cooking classes. Please do not hesitate to call me if you have any questions.

If you have any questions regarding our policies or are ready to plan your special event please call or email me.
