Greek term or phrase: συνεστιάσεις
Context Restaurant website:
ο χώρος είναι ιδάνικος για συνεστιάσεις

I can't provide more context for confidentiality reasons (the website is in the public domain).

I know the meaning, but neither "banquets" nor "dinners" really fit the context (banquets is for a different kind of restaurant and dinners would be confused with an evening meal.

I was tempted by gatherings, but it feels to informal. formal meal feels a bit stiff. And special occasion wider than the original.

Any thoughts?

Thanks so much Nick. As per discussion entry I have chosen large gatherings. I have awarded 3 points rather than 4 in deference to the fact that in another setting I might have chosen get-togethers. I hope that feels fair.
