Senia - PDR
It’s been about seven months since we’ve had dinner as a couple, without our little girl at the table in her stroller. But, with more and more family becoming vaccinated, we thought it was time for us to head out for a nice dinner together while someone else watched our baby. It also happens that we were celebrating our wedding anniversary, so a private dinner upstairs at Senia seemed an apropos setting for our first parents-only dinner in half a year!
Senia has just recently opened their main dining room for service, but for our anniversary celebration we decided to dine in the privacy and quiet of the private dining room (PDR). I’ve hosted several group dinners in the PDR before but never just a dinner for two. For those of you who see this post and are interested, the PDR can be reserved for up to 10 people (pre-COVID I would recommend no more than 12 for the size of the space). There is a minimum spend requirement so keep that in mind as you plan your special event.
