Our private dining accommodations at San Benito House consist of an indoor Victorian private dining room with its own private entrance, distinctly appointed with venerable nostalgic photos & memorabilia throughout. Walk through French doors onto cedar planked wooden floors along with tiffany chandeliers, that will simply take you back in time to another era gone by.
- We also boast an exclusive redwood deck patio and a beautiful European-style private garden area, with a classic wooden gazebo and breathtaking landscaping.
- The large indoor private space can seat from 10 to 60 guests respectively and can be separated with partitions if necessary.
- The outdoor deck with BBQ pit can easily accommodate up to 200 guests, or can subdivide into many different sized configurations, for private or semi-private events as well.
Together, these combined spaces can be utilized to seat about 300 guests for a complete buyout of this distinctive venue. Situated on historic Main Street, in the heart of Half Moon Bay, our unique private dining accommodations at San Benito House take in the beauty of the property, while at the same time allowing for privacy, without the confinement of a four-walled banquet room. A remarkable & spectacular environment in which to hold your next event!
The San Benito House is the perfect place for California coast side events!`

Additional Information
While we do not have a room charge for our private spaces, we do require a food & beverage minimum. Room minimums are based on seasonal demand as well as the date and time of the event and we reserve the right to change room venues if the group size changes. These minimum expenditures represent the required food & beverage to be met, excluding tax and service charges. * A 9.25% sales tax and a 20% service/gratuity charge will be added to all private events. Restaurant buyouts are also available at an additional fee. To confirm all reservations, a 40% deposit is required on all private dining events. Acceptance of these policies shall be acknowledged in full, once a valid credit card has been received in order to guarantee and confirm a specific event.
An expected attendance must be received no later than 72 working hours prior to the scheduled event. This will be considered the guaranteed attendance and will not be subject to reduction. Otherwise, the expected number of guests listed on the private dining room contract will be what is understood as the guaranteed number of guests. For groups of 15 or more, all wine & private dining menu orders must be received by the restaurant no less than 1 week prior to the event.
This is essential for preparing the menu and in providing certain wine selections. Specific vintages may vary based on availability. A fifty (50%) cancellation fee of the total estimated cost will be in effect for all functions cancelled within 2 weeks of an event. (Holiday cancellation policies are different). A $50 cancellation fee will be assessed on all cancelled events without exception.
