Pricing runs from mid-range to premium. Your final cost depends on the date, guest count, and catering, so send the same short brief to two or three venues and compare the quotes side by side.
Private dining in Lexington is the right call when you want a restaurant kitchen and a door that closes. Ask how many the room holds seated, whether the menu is prix fixe or custom, and if the room can be bought out. The list above is short on purpose: these are the listings tagged for a seated private meal, not a full-venue party. Request a quote with headcount and a date window.
