Capacity, exactly
| Space | Seats | Layout | Good for |
|---|---|---|---|
| The Boardroom | 8 to 20 | One long table behind a frosted glass door | A seated dinner where everyone is in one conversation |
| Semi-private | up to 28 | A section of the dining room set aside for the group | Larger family dinners and team dinners |
| General dining, 12 or more | by arrangement | Tables in the main room | Groups that want the window wall; one check applies |
Twenty is the Boardroom’s ceiling, not a target. Eight guests at the long table feel right; twenty fill it. If your count could reach 22 or 25, ask about the semi-private option at the start rather than trimming the list later. Head counts usually drift in the last week, so give the team a realistic range and confirm the final number when they ask for it.
What is in the room
The Boardroom has a fully integrated AV system with a large screen, which the restaurant pitches for watch parties as much as for slides. The windows behind the table give what the restaurant calls Arlington’s best panoramic view of the Entertainment District, and the room faces the sunset, so a dinner booked for the hour before dusk gets the full show. The rest of the restaurant, the marble bar, the wine wall and the grand piano, is a few steps away for guests who drift out before dessert. Photos and the inquiry form are on the private dining page.

Menus for a group of 20
Private dining menus are tailored to the group, so the proposal will carry the specifics, and the team can shape a menu around a budget per head as easily as around a favorite cut. The dinner menu the kitchen builds from includes Center-Cut Filet Mignon at $62 for 6 oz and $74 for 8 oz, a Hand-Cut Ribeye at $75, Seared Sea Bass at $57, Chicken Saltimbocca at $42 and Crab Cakes at $44, with shareable sides from $11 to $18 and desserts from $15 to $17. For a table of twenty, a short set of entrée choices keeps the kitchen’s timing tight and the courses arriving together. Tell the team about allergies and vegetarian guests when you book; the kitchen can build a plate from salads and sides.
How to book it

Frequently asked questions
What if my dinner grows past 20 people?
The Boardroom stops at 20 seats, so a group of 21 to 28 moves to semi-private seating in the dining room. Tell the private dining team the realistic top of your range when you submit the request, so the proposal is written for the right space from the start.
Is there a minimum spend for the Boardroom?
Yes. All parties of 10 or more are subject to a food and beverage minimum based on party size, and the exact amount is quoted in the written proposal after you submit the request. The restaurant does not publish the figure, so plan the budget once the proposal arrives.
Can I book the private room for a lunch for 20?
Yes. Mercury Chophouse serves lunch Monday through Friday from 11 AM with a separate lunch menu, and the Boardroom is available for lunch meetings. Saturday service begins at 4 PM, so a Saturday lunch is not possible, and the restaurant is closed Sunday.
Is a deposit required to hold the Boardroom?
Deposit, cancellation and room-fee terms are not published on the website. They are set out in the written proposal that follows your private dining request, which arrives within 48 hours. Ask the team directly at 817-381-1157 if you need the terms before you submit.
Can we show a slideshow or a game in the private room?
Yes. The Boardroom has a fully integrated AV system with a large screen, and the restaurant describes it as ideal for watch parties for the Rangers and Cowboys. Confirm your connection needs with the team when you book so the setup is ready when the group arrives.
