If you're planning a holiday party this year, we understand that it can be stressful. Inviting everyone to your home doubles the work, so whether you have a Thanksgiving Dinner, Christmas Eve Party or New Year's Eve Bash to plan, make it easier on yourself by renting out a private dining room. Not only will the clean-up be ten times easier, but you'll avoid dirtying your nice dishes and needing to clean the house late that night or the next morning. Luckily, Sarasota has many upscale restaurants with private dining rooms. 

Check out the following list of upscale restaurants in Sarasota that offer their private dining rooms for your next holiday gathering. So when everyone asks who planned the party, you can respond like:
