Elegant Private Dining

Serene Spaces for Memorable Gatherings

Our private dining rooms are conceived as calm, refined sanctuaries within Felt And Fork. Bathed in warm ivory tones and soft candlelight, each space is designed to frame conversation, celebrate milestones, and allow you and your guests to savour every detail without distraction.

From intimate anniversaries and milestone birthdays to discreet business dinners, our team shapes each occasion with a quiet, editorial elegance that feels both effortless and meticulously considered.

Tailored Ambiance for Every Occasion

Each private room can be styled to suit your gathering:

  • Intimate birthdays and anniversaries
  • Proposal dinners and family celebrations
  • Chef-led group tastings and wine flights
  • Small corporate dinners and hosting VIP guests

Share your vision and we will refine the lighting, music, and pacing of service to create a setting that feels distinctly your own.

Chef-Curated Menus & Offline Poker Evenings

Elevate your private event with bespoke seasonal menus, premium drink pairings, and optional offline poker entertainment that remains firmly rooted in refined hospitality.

Chef-Curated Menus

Dining, Designed Around Your Guests

Collaborate with our culinary team to create a menu that reflects your occasion. From multi-course chef's tasting experiences to generous shared platters, each dish is built around seasonal New Zealand produce, premium ingredients, and elegant presentation.

Our sommeliers and bar team curate complementary wine flights and cocktail pairings, ensuring the rhythm of each course feels measured, thoughtful, and deeply satisfying.

Seamless Poker Pairings

Offline Poker as Refined Entertainment

For select private events, guests may request exclusive offline poker tables as part of the evening's entertainment. Hosted by professional, personable dealers, these live tables are designed as a leisurely social experience that complements your meal.

No online play or remote participation is offered. Instead, guests enjoy face-to-face interaction, refined hospitality, and a relaxed, invitation-style atmosphere where the restaurant remains the heart of the evening.

Exclusive Wine Cellar Access

Cellar Moments for Your Inner Circle

Enhance your celebration with guided access to our wine cellar. Intimate tastings, curated flights of New Zealand and international labels, and sommelier-led stories bring an additional layer of depth to your evening.

For smaller groups, a pre-dinner cellar tasting followed by a private room dinner creates a beautifully paced, immersive experience.
