The ROM is booking up fast these days, as folks flock to see the new Crystal: both the highs—the C5 restaurant at the peak of the slant-walled structure—and its more grounded lower level, the Hyacinth Gloria Chen Crystal Court, which leads into the broad, flowing space of the Samuel Hall Currelly Gallery. Together, the main-floor rooms can hold 2,500 people. For more intimate occasions, book the octagonal Glass Room, which sits atop the old rotunda and seats 50 people, is a good choice. It has a black-and-green glass floor and deco flourishes. With the exception of the Glass Room, most bookings are available during evenings only (and in the case of C5, Sunday to Wednesday exclusively).
- How much:
- Glass Room $1,000; Eaton Court $2,000; Samuel Hall Currelly Gallery $5,000; first floor $8,000; C5 $1,000 plus food and beverage minimum (all rates valid until Dec. 31, 2007)
- Catering:
- in-house, or choose from eight preferred caterers; dinner $40–$80 per person
