What an incredible evening at Parrilla Natural! I called before & spoke to the manager who was hugely helpful in dealing with our personal requests. The evening flowed with exceptional flawless service from start to finish. We were all pleased with our food & especially the multiple side dishes; we over ordered but just didn’t care enough to stop, we were on a roll. Great evening, thank you Parrilla Natural & we can’t wait to return.

Asked along the way.
Can we have an exclusive event at Parrilla Natural?+
As an operating restaurant, exclusive use requires negotiation directly with management. Weekend dates and peak season (May-September) typically demand full venue buyout. Off-season weekday events may allow partial takeover.
What's the dress code?+
Smart casual to cocktail attire suits the restaurant's atmosphere. Formal black-tie would feel out of place given the casual-to-moderate setting.
Can we customize the menu?+
The restaurant's specialty is grilled meats and Portuguese cuisine. Menu customization is possible but works best when built around their core offerings. Contact them at http://www.parrillanatural.com/ for specific catering packages.
Is there a ceremony space?+
Parrilla Natural is a restaurant without dedicated ceremony facilities. Couples typically arrange separate ceremony locations (nearby beaches, hotels, chapels) and use this venue for reception only.
What's the cancellation policy?+
Cancellation terms vary by booking date and season. Contact the venue directly to confirm deposit amounts and refund conditions.
