Host Your Next Private Event at Dinner Is Served

Planning a birthday, family celebration, corporate gathering, church event, or special night with friends?

Instead of worrying about finding a venue, coordinating food, setting up seating, and figuring out entertainment separately, Dinner Is Served gives you the opportunity to bring everything together in one place.

Our outdoor patio at 1001 NW 95th Street in Miami can accommodate private events for groups of up to 50 guests, with flexible seating, custom food options, music capabilities, and a relaxed outdoor setting.

Whether you're planning something casual or celebrating an important milestone, our goal is to give you a comfortable space where the food, atmosphere, and people can take center stage.

A Private Event Space in Miami for Up to 50 Guests

Not every celebration needs a ballroom or a large event hall.

Sometimes the right venue is somewhere intimate enough that your guests can actually spend time together.

Dinner Is Served features a renovated outdoor patio designed for private gatherings of up to 50 guests.

The space can work well for:

  • Birthday celebrations
  • Family gatherings
  • Corporate dinners
  • Networking events
  • Church groups
  • Reunions
  • Holiday parties
  • Small celebrations
  • Karaoke nights
  • Live music events

The patio offers flexible arrangements for seated dining or more social gatherings, depending on the type of event you're planning.

Birthday Parties Without the Usual Hosting Stress

Hosting a birthday at home can sound simple until you start thinking about everything involved.

There is food to prepare, seating to arrange, music to organize, guests to manage, and eventually everything has to be cleaned up.

Hosting your birthday at Dinner Is Served allows you to bring everyone together without turning your home into the event venue.

Whether you're celebrating a milestone birthday, organizing a family gathering, or simply getting friends together for a good meal, our patio provides a dedicated space where your group can eat, celebrate, and enjoy the evening.

Add Karaoke or Live Caribbean Music

Sometimes food alone isn't enough to make an event memorable.

Dinner Is Served can accommodate entertainment options including karaoke and live Caribbean music, giving your event a completely different atmosphere from a typical restaurant gathering.

A karaoke party can work especially well for birthdays, friend groups, family celebrations, and anyone who wants the guests to become part of the entertainment.

Live Caribbean music creates another option for customers looking for an energetic atmosphere that complements the Caribbean and Haitian flavors found throughout the Dinner Is Served menu.

Build an Event Menu Around Your Guests

One of the biggest decisions when planning any event is the food.

Dinner Is Served offers Caribbean, Haitian, Latin, and American dishes, making it easier to create a menu for groups with different preferences.

Depending on your event, options from our full menu may include dishes such as:

  • Marinated Fried Pork (Griot)
  • Oxtail Stew
  • Chicken Wings and Cuban Style Chicken Breast
  • Whole Snapper
  • Shrimp Creole
  • Rice and beans
  • Fried and sweet plantains
  • Boiled yuca
  • Green beans, broccoli, and corn
  • Caribbean and Latin favorites
  • American comfort food

Private-event food options can include family-style platters, self-serve stations, or plated meals depending on the event and arrangements.

Contact the Dinner Is Served team when planning your event so the food setup can be matched to your group size, preferences, and occasion.

A Different Option for Corporate and Team Events

Private events aren't limited to birthdays and family celebrations.

The Dinner Is Served patio can also provide a more relaxed setting for:

  • Corporate dinners
  • Employee celebrations
  • Team gatherings
  • Networking events
  • Staff appreciation events
  • Small business meetups

Instead of another conference room or traditional restaurant table, an outdoor private setting can give employees and guests more room to socialize.

Organizations near Miami Shores, North Shore Medical Center, El Portal, Biscayne Park, and surrounding Miami neighborhoods can also benefit from the restaurant's location near NW 95th Street and I-95.

Family Gatherings and Reunions

Some events aren't formal enough to need an event hall, but they are too important for everyone to simply meet at separate restaurant tables.

Family reunions, anniversaries, holiday gatherings, church celebrations, and other group events often work better when everyone has a shared space.

The outdoor patio gives families an opportunity to sit together, enjoy a meal, play music, talk, and celebrate without splitting the group throughout the restaurant.

And because the Dinner Is Served menu includes multiple cuisines and familiar comfort foods, guests with different tastes have plenty to choose from.

Make the Event Your Own

Every event is different.

Some groups want a seated dinner.

Others want food stations and more room to move around.

Some want music playing in the background.

Others want karaoke or live entertainment to be the focus of the night.

Dinner Is Served offers flexible event options so the space and food can be adapted around the type of gathering you're planning.

The best approach is to tell us:

  • The type of event
  • Your preferred date
  • Approximate number of guests
  • Food preferences
  • Seating needs
  • Entertainment plans
  • Any special requests

From there, the Dinner Is Served team can discuss availability and available options.

Private Events vs. Catering

Dinner Is Served offers both private event hosting and catering, but they serve two different needs.

Private Event Hosting

You can use our outdoor patio, enjoy food at the restaurant, and coordinate entertainment options such as karaoke or live music.

This may include:

  • Office lunches
  • Hospital meetings
  • Family events at home
  • Church functions
  • Community events
  • Business gatherings

If you're still deciding which option works best, contact us and tell us what you're planning.
