Private Events — McKinney, TX
When the dinner — or the meeting — matters, the room matters. A private space for client dinners, working lunches, board meetings, and team celebrations, day or night.
When the dinner — or the meeting — matters, the room matters. Centro on the Square offers a private space in the heart of Historic Downtown McKinney for client entertaining, working lunches, board and leadership meetings, team celebrations, board dinners, and holiday gatherings — day or night, with chef-driven food, attentive service, and a setting that makes your company look good.

Our private space is a fully enclosed private room — not a curtained-off corner — so your team and clients can talk freely, whether it's an evening dinner or a daytime meeting. It seats up to 40 guests, with full-restaurant buyouts available for larger groups of up to 150. From a small leadership dinner to a full-team celebration, we set the room to fit the occasion.
We host daytime and evening, lunch or dinner. Book a working lunch, a mid-day board or leadership meeting, an all-day session, or a client dinner after hours — our team handles the menu and the timing so you can focus on the agenda and the guests.
Sliding doors divide the private dining room into two equal, fully private spaces of about twenty each. Run a presentation in one and a working session in the other, split a group into two tracks, or open it back up for the full table — flexible by design.
Projector, screen, and A/V for presentations are included — so a working lunch or a dinner can include a few slides, a toast, or a quick word from leadership without missing a beat.
Executive Chef Mark Gordy builds menus around what your group needs — coursed dinners, family-style, or a flexible selection. Expect the same kitchen that makes our pasta in-house and sources 100% Texas Black Angus from Outpost 76 Ranch. All-inclusive, per-person menus keep the budget predictable and easy to get approved — one set price per guest, no surprises.
At 112 E Louisiana St in Historic Downtown McKinney, we're an easy, central spot for teams and clients coming from across Collin County.
