Create Catering isn’t technically a restaurant, but owner Philip Dorwart was a well-known restaurant chef before branching out with his partner Desiree to open this private dining space that has an art gallery feel. This is an ideal industrial-styled spot for a stunning private event that’s a little outside the box (plus, there’s a big parking lot). The room fits up to 48 guests for a sit-down dinner and up to 65 for a cocktail party.
