Seeking Location for Small Casual Holiday Dinner Party in Flower Mound Area.

You might consider Cafe Italia in Grapevine. There are two locations -- an older one near downtown Grapevine, and a brand new location near Grapevine Stadium. The new location has a semi-private room that would be perfect. The food is great, and you can get a variety of Italian dishes (which come with salad and bread) for under $10.00. Best of all -- it's BYOB -- so you can bring in all the wine you want, and they will provide the wine glasses. We've done corporate dinners there and everyone loved it. Tell them S. referred you.

This is located in Flower Mound and you can bring in your own food, which should help with your budget.

With your budget in mind, you will probably have to do someting like Pizza or some other type of buffet, because you are looking at a budget of about 11.00 per person. HTH

What about Noodle Swing? They have great food, and the owners are very nice. They have a very small dining area and usually aren't very crowded so they may just let you use the whole thing. They also have a kids menu.

Do you know anyone in Bridlewood or Wellington? I think you have to have a resident sign the contracts . . . Both have Amenity Centers you can rent and then cater something. Bridlewood's is $125 for 3 hours, I believe. It's decorated for Christmas, has a huge fireplace that takes up one wall and has a little kitchen in it. Jason's Deli will deliver to the Amenity Center and their stuff is reasonable and good.

What about Main Event in Grapevine?

Try Bari's they have a room for private parties and the owners seem very nice. Plus the regular menu seems responible priced, and they will be able to do some kid options I am sure.

We had a party at the Italian restaurant in Parker Square (I forget the name but it is next to the Italian steak house) and it worked out really well. They are priced well for large groups/parties and will print menus for your guests or set up a buffet line. The people really nice and easy to work with.

Talk to Salerno's...they do a lot of group dinners in our area and they can do a buffet style meal or let you choose a dinner or two for your guest to choose from and keep you on budget. They have a nice atmosphere and an area they keep for parties that gives you an intimate atmosphere. Service is always good.

Do you live in the Flower Mound area because
they have a rec. center for activities/
parties. Their is also a new facility
Flower Mound Community Center. I hope
this helps you out and good luck.

You can cater in too.

Try Salernos.... they have a separate dining room and they can make a menu to fit your budget.

Z's is good too but a bit more expensive, but great separate room too.

The only other thing I can think of is Little Pete's on the Lake.... they'd probably do something easy and cheap, but I think their group space is outside, don't know if they have heaters.

Hello,

I can recomend Mimi's Cafe and Alforno's. Mimi's Cafe does have a beautiful room with a fireplace that they can reserve for you with no charge. They can also custimize a special menu for your party that will fit your budget. They also have a great varitey of food. Good Luck and Merry Christmas!

Try Village grill in Highland village (near Kroger on 407). They have the best food and also are really nice. they have pretty much everything on the menu (italian, mexican, burgers, salads, kids meals) Ive heard a couple people have used their location and loved it. They do buffets too and also have a separate room. Good luck!

Both Bari's and Salerno's are great and located realatively close to one another! Good luck to you!
