Private dining at an upscale restaurant.

Any suggestions for a private dining room for 10 people to celebrate a birthday. It should be something not too noisy, so you can have a conversation, nice ambience, great food and service.

How about the PDRs at Eastern Standard or West Bridge?

Depends on the crowd, but I've gotten a private room at Davio's Back Bay for this sized crowd with good success. It's modern Italian plus wood-grilled steaks and chops, a crowd-pleaser.

We've really liked that smaller private room.

Two great spots are the Chefs Table at Menton http://mentonboston.com/private-enter...
and similarly at Via Matta

[mkfisher]

The food at Via Matta is sadly pretty bad these days

both might be a bit noisy but offers a really cool/memorable setting

I used to work as a Server at Via Matta. I absolutely loved it when I got to work downstairs in the kitchen at the Chef's Table.
But...it's not quiet at all. One shoji screen in place to try & section the table off from the kitchen doesn't work to block out all of the noise.

I haven't been but a friend of mine has said that Toscano's on Charles Street has a nice private room. I am not sure how many people it holds or if there is an extra charge.

[KeyConcierge]

great call on Toscano's. that should hit all requirements listed.

[libertywharf]

Toscano's has been there 25 plus years. I haven't been in a few years, so I'd be interested in hearing a report if you go. When I used to go it was great and the owners, John and vinney were very helpful.

[MC Slim JB]

Worth noting that the look and menu changed quite a bit when Toscano changed hands a few years ago. Pricier, slicker, less traditional. Seems to be working: they're opening another location in Harvard Square.

After the changeover things went downhill, IMO. The slickness factor won out over food,

The last time my office ate there was about 2 years ago and the food was terrible and the service discombobulated and inconsistent. It's came off our rotation.

Brasserie Jo might be another idea.

[MC Slim JB]

Agreed. I didn't love the original Toscano, like V2.0 less.
