ArdenPrivate Dining

Hosting your private party at Arden is truly a special occasion. The moment you enter the cozy, romantic space, you are transported out of the city and into the wild. Inspired by Shakespeare's forest of Arden, the restaurant is an ode to the beautiful simplicity of nature, reflected in both the decor and the dishes. Lauded as one of the best restaurants in Portland, Arden is a haven for foodies and winos alike. Boasting a glass wine cellar housing over 1200 bottles and a tiny open kitchen helmed by the singular Chef Erik Van Kley, Arden truly is a treat for the senses. For large parties Arden serves a 4-course menu ($64/guest) that is written specially for each party, featuring 4 courses of seasonal cuisine shared for the table. Parties can also choose to start with a cocktail hour and appetizers, for an additional cost, before dinner. Beverages can be ordered individually by the glass, but most parties prefer to pre-select bottles at preferred price points and styles.
