Top Tips for Hosting the Best Corporate Event at Chima Steakhouse

Here are some of the top tips for hosting a corporate event that will help make your planning seamless and easy!

Choose The Ideal Location

Between our flavorful menus, friendly wait staff, creative drinks, and inviting atmosphere, Chima is the ideal location for your corporate party of any kind! Chima restaurant locations and event spaces are perfect for a corporate dinner party. Our bar and lounge areas are an ideal gathering place, and our main dining rooms have space for a dance floor and DJ for a buyout event. If you’re more interested in a VIP experience, we have VIP private rooms for dining in all locations.

Choose The Best Food

Chima Steakhouse offers a traditional, Brazilian style rodizio dinner for parties and events. Our upscale rodizio menu is provided by classically dressed servers who walk around to each table presenting various kinds of meat. Each guest receives unlimited portions of 16 different cuts of rotisserie meat served by gaucho chefs, unlimited trips to a vast gourmet salad bar with over 30 items available, and unlimited servings of hot side dishes. We also feature appetizers, cold cuts, vegan and gluten-free choices, and decadent desserts! The best food always comes with a full liquor bar, a great wine selection, and champagne. Now that’s a party!

Choose the Best Drinks

Chima Steakhouse is well-known for our extensive and delicious drink menu. Our expert Chima bartenders put a lot of passion into drinks with attention to presentation, taste, and quality. You can wash down your divine dining experience at your corporate party with Chima’s international wine list featuring fine wines.

Our world-class bar/lounges open 30 minutes before dinner service every day, and our happy hours run seven days per week with a very special happy hour menu. Not everyone drinks alcohol and that’s quite okay, as our master mixers are here to serve you many assortments of non-alcoholic drinks as well!

Choose the Best Amenities

It’s not every day that you find star-rated restaurants with VIP rooms ready for your private parties. What corporate event or company party would be complete without some kind of power point or video presentation? Even if your dinner party only requires a few corporate pats on the back and toasts, you’ll probably need to choose a restaurant that has all of the amenities perfectly primed for the best corporate party ever. Our Chima VIP rooms have room for standing and seating and are equipped with TV, wireless Internet, and wireless microphone capabilities.

“What can I say about this place? I am BEYOND happy with the way the reception turned out. We dealt with Ashley, Sales & Events Manager, who went above and beyond for us. She provided excellent communication, answering each and every single one of our questions before our big day. We asked if it would be possible for them to hold onto a few things (centerpieces, wedding favors, guest book, etc.) and they were more than accommodating. They took care of setting everything up for us so all we literally had to do was sit down and enjoy the evening with our guests. Ashley even went as far as sending us pictures of the setup the day after, which we were extremely thankful for as we didn’t have the chance to take any with all of the craziness. The entrance itself helps set the ambiance with the grand trees out front that are lit up throughout the night, and the food was spectacular!! All our guests did the day of and after was talk about how amazing the food was. I highly recommend this venue and look forward to dining here again.”
