Private Dining Room at Fortuna's Row
If you've never been to Fortuna's Row you should definitely check it out! Their food is amazing and I love what they've done to create a unique and welcoming atmosphere in a spacious building.
One of Calgary's top chefs, Mikko Tamarra, worked hard to create an inviting taste exploration of Mexican, Peruvian, and Latin American dishes in a one-of-a-kind menu. And let me tell you, he nailed it - you won't find dishes like this anywhere else!
Key Features:
- Gather together in long table seating
- Ability to share dishes with family-style menu options
- Quieter area separated from the main dining room space
- Convenient location downtown with free parking available

Rodney's has a private room called the Government Wharf on the upper level of their restaurant that comfortably fits 10 people. This room is free to book and features a large television on one wall. There are also washrooms conveniently right around the corner from the room. This is a great space for watching the Flames game (as we did!) or a small birthday or corporate gathering.

2) Rodney's Oyster House
Admittedly, I haven't been to Deane House. From what I understand it is quite a luxury experience! Known for both customer service and cuisine, It appears they hold events often (a lot of wedding photos on their site), but I think the area of most interest is the private dining room (or the "Library Room"). It feels prestigious.
