Looking for a private dining experience with a difference in Poole? Drgnfly offers an immersive setting paired with beautifully presented, sharing-style menus. Blending contemporary Pan-Asian flavours with a strong sense of occasion, it’s well suited to everything from intimate dinners with friends or family to larger celebrations and corporate events.
At the centre of its private dining offering is the Opium Den, an exclusive space within the restaurant that seats up to 10 guests. Designed for smaller gatherings, the room has a cosy, enclosed feel, with exposed stone walls, rich terracotta tones and a dark slate floor. A long banquet table encourages a sociable dining style, while features such as a champagne press bell, Alexa and smart lighting allow guests to tailor the atmosphere and create a more personalised experience.
Guests booking the Opium Den can choose from dedicated set menus at different price points. These include nibbles such as prawn crackers and steamed edamame, followed by dishes like crispy chicken with ponzu, salmon avocado maki, tempura and robata sticks, before finishing with dessert. A more premium option expands the selection to include teriyaki maki, California rolls, nigiri and sashimi, along with a dessert platter to share.
For larger occasions, the entire restaurant is available for exclusive hire, accommodating up to 120 guests. The main dining room provides a striking backdrop, with a large blossom tree and hanging lanterns forming a central feature, complemented by dark wooden tables, red velvet seating, black lattice detailing and warm gold accents throughout.
This flexible space works for both seated dinners and more informal events such as drinks receptions or canape-style gatherings, with menus featuring gyoza, pork dumplings, sushi, tempura and sweets such as mochi or matcha brownie bites. Drinks include expertly mixed cocktails and mocktails, wines, sake, beer and soft drinks.
