HELP! New Englanders, New Jersey folks, and Philly people...

My boss has tasked me with trying to find private dining facilities for small groups (6-8 people) in the following cities:

New Haven, CT
Hartford, CT
Philadelphia, PA
Morristown, NJ

He prefers a private room in a restaurant, but realizes we may have to resort to hotel space if we can't find anything. I'm having a HECK of a time finding restaurants w/ small, private rooms like this. Some of these meetings will be lunch, some dinner.

Anyone out there know of any in these areas??

As always, thanks!

Hey K! I live in Morristown, NJ! What kind of food are you looking for?

You know, nothing too adventurous...probably just a steakhouse, or seafood or something like that. Or italian. Thanks!

OK...here are some suggestions...if you have any Q's let me know.

1. Rod's Steak House - This restaurant is part of the Madison Hotel (where hubby and I had a wedding reception...LOL!) is Convent Station (which is Morristown). Decent food...a little pricey, I am not sure if they have a private dining area, but they are a place that people often have business meeting lunches and dinners. Here is the website:

2. Pierre's - My favorite restaurant! It's French, not too pricey with a great wine bar and is set up so there are more private dining sections. Here is the website:

3. Famished Frog - This is a "Family" kind of restaurant...menu is burgers/pasta etc...for ok, not pricey, definitely has a private section...it's located in downtown Morristown. Here's the website:

5. Sebatian's Steakhouse - I haven't been here either, but it's my dentist favorite restaurant. Here's the website:

See if any of those would be good for your group...Here is a list of some more Morristown restaurants by cuisine...if you want to know about those, let me know.

HTH! Let me know what you decide!

Maria - thanks so much for all the suggestions and links/info! I'll look into them and let you know what we go with. I know they've eaten at Rod's before, but like you said...not sure about the private room setup. Your favorite - the french restaurant - sounds like it might be a good option!

I added another Steakhouse as well K...but I haven't eaten there so can't say...

Oh...and as far as Italian places...I haven't eaten at any in Morristown. Since I am Italian, I rarely eat at Italian places, and when I do, it's usually in my hometown of Caldwell, NJ (or I would go to NYC).
