OT - Anybody from San Francisco? Need location for bridal shower

[Mom to Brandon and 2 cats]

Anybody know of a good restaurant for a bridal shower (that's not too expensive), and has a private room for doing a bridal shower (girls only)?

Thanks for the help!

I am from the Bay Area and I did my sister's baby shower at a tea party place. This was in San Jose/Campbell. You might try and find a similar place. I did a search for "tea party" type place and came up with this. It's not Victorian style like the place we went too, but it looks like a fun place. At the bottom of the menu it says they do bridal/baby showers. Their food seems okay priced. I would see what kind of deal they could give you for a shower!

There is Lovejoy's tea room in Noe Valley. If you need more centrally located, but probably more expensive, the Ritz and St. Francis hotels have afternoon tea - I have seen many showers there. Also The Rotunda at Neiman Marcus - it was recently renovated.

In the East Bay Pearl's in Fremont (Irvington district) is very nice. In The City try Cafe Kati.

Is the E&O still around? They have a private room. It's on Sutter Street.

I also think Cafe Claude would be a fun spot to do a bridal shower -- it's on Claude Lane in Financial. I went there once w/ a group of girs and we were the ones in the place. The waiter was hilarious and v. accomodating.

Did you use Lisa's Tea and Treasures? Thats sooo fun!

In Fremont, Nouvelle Bistro (asian fusion) has a nice party room that's the perfect size for something like this, and the food is wonderful :)

It is on the expensive side, at least by my standards, but not exhorbitant.

I've heard Pearls has gone downhill since they changed management (a few months ago??) though I've never been there.

I just helped host a baby shower in a tea shop in extreme East Bay (Concord/Clayton). It was great! Private room, $19.99/person, and they set up and cleaned up. Cute little finger-y foods. Perfect for about 15 people who aren't that rowdy.

I assume it is out of your geographical range, but it was a great success. I am just posting to endorse the tea idea. If you want to know more, PM me.
