RESTAURANT PARTY ROOMS

Inquire at your tot’s favorite eatery about reserving space. Some places simply charge by the head for food, while others charge a room fee but let you order à la carte. Often you can choose to arrange for the cake, favors or an activity yourself, or pay extra for the restaurant to handle it. Below, some of our fave party parlors.
