SPECIAL EVENTS
Chez Papa Mint Plaza is the perfect special event venue for groups of 10 to 150. Consider booking our full restaurant and patio for your elegant cocktail reception or seated dinner for up to 85. With advance notice, we can even coordinate with the Old Mint to create a truly memorable occasion. Imagine your pre-dinner reception hosted in the Old Mint Vaults, followed by an elegant seated dinner at Chez Papa.
For smaller groups, sheer curtains envelop the back portion of our dining room to create cozy ambience in a semi-private atmosphere. This space can be configured either for groups of up to 14 guests, or for parties of up to 25.
Our menus, designed by Executive Chef Steven Rojas, change seasonally and are designed to showcase the best ingredients from local farms and artisan purveyors. Chef Rojas delights in creating dazzling food and wine pairings and offers you the opportunity to customize the menu for your party.
