40th Birthday Dinner for 14 People

[jandres374]

My wife is turning 40 in May and I am trying to arrange a birthday dinner with some friends preferably in the Bethesda/Palisades area. Looking for possibly a private room that could accomodate our party.

Looking for good food and wine.

Two things leap to mind:

The Chef's Table / Wine Room at Grapeseed

and the Chef's Table at BlackSalt

Cheers,

Does 2 Amys ever book out the top room?

I have been quite happy with the events I have been to at Matisse in Tenleytown, and 14 people should not be a problem.

My family is hosting a joint graduation celebration for me and my fiance at Famoso in Chevy Chase. The room is very pretty in a sophisticated way, the food is solid if not amazing, and the manager (owner?) is wonderful to work with.Another plus- a parking lot for your guests. I know it is not exactly in Bethesda or the Palisades neighborhood, but I thought it may be close enough.

Thanks for the suggestions but we pulled an audible. We are now going to head up to Frederick and do dinner in the private room at Volt.

So we are headed to Volt on Saturday night, 12 people in a limo for the 45 minute ride up there. I was thinking of getting some light snacks for the ride up there - nothing too much.

Any suggestions on what to provide and from where? Will need to be a prepared tray as I can't let the wife see me putting something together or the surprise will be ruined.

Preferably something in the Bethesda area that I can quickly pick-up on Saturday afternoon.

Perhaps A&H Gourmet and Seafood in Bethesda can put together a plate of spanish cured meats and cheese.
