My son is getting married this spring at the Four Seasons Hotel in Boston, MA .. We would like to have the rehearsal dinner for about 35 people somewhere in the same general area as the hotel .. any tried and true suggestions .. we would like a private room .. thank you !

Loch-over was the place to do that. It recently reopened under Lydia Shire, one of our top chefs who is female.
I haven't seen the vamped place but their were small rooms for private parties we used for holidays and engagements.

Hi again cigalechanta, hope all is well with you! My AC is broken and now our belated summer has arrived, and of course it's Friday evening of a 3-day weekend! Anyway, I think you mean Locke-ober's.

Home02, what sort of price bracket are you talking about? There are many very nice hotels in that area, notably the Ritz-Carlton, but perhaps you'd rather just find a restaurant with a private room?

Why not try the Hampshire House, across the Common from the 4 Seasons?

You are also not far from a number of notable seafood places, for the essential Boston experience.

About a year ago, I had dinner at the top of the Prudential. The food was wonderful and the views were spactacular. There were about 25 of us in a private room. After dinner, there was live music in the main restaurant area. It was a great evening.

If you would not mine taking cabs into Cambridge, I would suggest Sandrine's. The owner, used to be the head chef at Le Meridien. If you contact the restaurant, you can have the chef prepare a chef's table for your party. The website is www.sandrines.com.

he folks on the www.chowhound.com Boston link can give you all sorts of restaurants in the area of the Four Seasons...
