About
Selanne Steak Tavern, the Michelin Guide-recommended steakhouse owned by hockey Hall of Famer Teemu Selanne and local businessman Kevin Pratt, opens its historic 1934 house on Coast Highway for private events, from birthdays and anniversaries to baby showers and other milestone celebrations. Each room has its own character. The Veranda, an outdoor patio for up to 40 guests, is lit by white pierced Moroccan lanterns and kept warm by heaters and a fireplace. The Wine Library seats 22 by candlelight, beside a whitewashed original brick fireplace and under large photographs of Southern California beaches. The Sunset Terrace takes 20 guests with a Laguna view, a private entrance and bistro lighting, set up for a cocktail reception or a seated dinner. The Loft fills the entire second floor for up to 35, with natural oak floors, a gray tongue-and-groove ceiling and cream and leather seating trimmed in silver nailheads. The Tavern and the Reserve Room round out the house, and the events team can talk through smaller groups and full buyouts. Menus come from the steakhouse kitchen, whose signatures include aged prime wagyu, Pacific scallops and Jidori chicken, and the wine list holds a Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence. For something more hands-on, groups of up to 12 can book VIII by Selanne, the kitchen space next door, for team-building cooking challenges followed by an elegant multi-course dinner.
