Can I use "which" instead of "where" in this sentence? Thank you.
Let's have dinner at the same restaurant where we had a party last time.
In this sentence, can I use "which" instead of "where"?
By the way, is "a party" right? Or it should be "the party"?
Thank you.

You can't directly substitute 'which' for 'where', as 'which' on its own cannot refer to a place. If you want to rewrite your sentence using 'which', it will have to be like this:
Let's have dinner at the same restaurant in which we had a party last time.
or
Let's have dinner at the same restaurant which we had a party in last time.
While the above sentences are grammatically correct, they are both rather awkward. The best option is to use 'where', as in your original sentence.
Either 'a party' or 'the party' are possible. You would use 'the party' if the listener knows which party you are referring to.
I hope that helps.

Which sounds awkward here. Better to use where.

You could say "Let's have dinner at the same restaurant IN which we had a party last time."
Also, I think you could use both "a party" and "the party", but "a party" seems more correct!
Hope it helped! ^_^
