Michael's at Shoreline — Mountain View, CA

60 guests · Mountain View, CA · $3,500 weekday F&B minimum, no venue fee · buffet dinners from $41 per person

Michael’s at Shoreline is the restaurant at a Mountain View golf property, and it rents its whole dining room as a private buyout — something the venue says it does quite often for private events, alongside the banquet rooms it books separately. The standout term is how the money is structured: on a weekday buyout the venue fee is waived completely, and the only spend requirement is a $3,500 food-and-beverage minimum, so the entire budget goes into the meal rather than into a rental line. Buffet dinner service starts at $41.00 per person. The venue quoted those terms for a 60-guest private corporate dinner, and it has an in-house golf department, so a golf or putting-based activity can be explored alongside the meal on the same property.

Space Features

• Restaurant buyout — the full dining room is rented out for private events, which the venue confirms it does regularly rather than as a one-off exception.
• Banquet rooms — the property also books dedicated banquet rooms as separate private-event space.
• Golf property — the restaurant sits on a golf course with its own golf department, so an activity-plus-dinner event can be run in one location.
• Quoted for a 60-guest private dinner in the restaurant-buyout configuration.

Pricing & Inclusions

• Weekday restaurant buyout: no venue fee at all. The venue waives the rental charge completely and asks only that the food-and-beverage minimum be met.
• $3,500 food-and-beverage minimum for a weekday restaurant buyout. This is a minimum spend on food and drink, not a rental fee and not a deposit.
• Buffet dinner from $41.00 per person, which includes two entrées, two salad selections, two starch selections and a complimentary dessert.
• A 22% service charge, 15% gratuity and 9.75% tax are applied on top — they are not included in the $3,500 minimum or the $41 per-person buffet figure.
• Golf and team activities: contact for price. The venue confirms it has a golf department that handles these; what is available on a given date and what it adds are quoted case by case.
• Written proposal on request. The venue will put together a full proposal for a specific date and guest count.

Quoted at 60 guests for a full restaurant buyout, the venue is sized for a corporate dinner or a private group meal rather than a large ballroom reception.

Catering & House Rules

• Catering is the restaurant’s own. Pricing runs on a food-and-beverage minimum against the venue’s kitchen rather than a room-rental fee, and the dinner packages quoted are the restaurant’s.
• The minimum is the gate, not the room. On a weekday buyout, meeting the $3,500 food-and-beverage spend is the only stated requirement to hold the space.
• Service charge and gratuity are both applied — 22% and 15% respectively — so the contracted figure sits meaningfully above the food-and-beverage subtotal.

Access & Logistics

• Located in Mountain View, California, on a golf property.
• Golf and dining are on the same site, handled by separate departments — the restaurant books the meal, the golf department books play.
• Banquet rooms and the restaurant are booked separately, so a date closed in one may still be open in the other — worth asking about both.

Best For

• Corporate dinners
• Team offsites and team-building evenings
• Private restaurant buyouts
• Golf-paired group outings
• Buffet-style group dinners
