The Basics
Sea Rocket Bistro hosts special events on-site in our front room as well as offering catering services for any off-site needs you might have. If you're a non-profit organization interested in hosting a fundraiser, a business in need of a meeting space or luncheon, or an individual looking for a cozy and intimate restaurant for your wedding reception dinner, we would be happy to work with you to arrange it. We've held various social mixers, wine and beer tastings, movie nights and prix fixe dinners for large groups before and can work with you to stay within your budget and address any dietary constraints you may have.

Our Capacity
For more formal, sit-down dinners we can seat up to 22 at the same long table in our front room, and up to 30 total using two separate tables. Our main dining room seats up to 35, and our bar area has 14 seats or standing room for 25. Any combination of these spaces can be reserved either at night or during the day for your special event.
Amenities & Equipment
Sea Rocket Bistro has two dining spaces separated by a wall. Our front room has three 6-foot tables placed end-to-end as one long communal table. This is a great arrangement for medium-sized formal dinners or buffet-style mixers. We have A/V equipment in this space including an LCD projector, 8-foot drop-down movie screen, DVD player and cable TV capability. This equipment can be used at no additional charge to you during your special event. Show a photo slideshow, give a visual presentation via Powerpoint or the web, watch a feature game on ESPN, or bring in a movie of your choice to watch during or after your meal. The options are endless.
Our main dining room has individual tables seating anywhere from 2 to 6 people at each. The bar has 10 barstools plus 2 small round bar tables seating 2 each. For mixers, we can remove all bar furniture to make getting drinks easier. We can even customize drink specials for an event that tie into its theme.
