How a booking works

A few things are worth knowing before you send an inquiry, so none of them lands as a surprise later.

What it costs

Every booking carries a food and beverage minimum. It changes with the meal and with the day of the week, and a deposit is due when you book.

Confirm with us The current minimums and the deposit amount are confirmed when you inquire.

A gratuity of 20% is added automatically. It does not count toward the minimum.

Timing and headcount

  • Events are booked in a block of at least two hours.
  • Your final headcount is due 48 hours before the event.

The bar

Choose how the bar runs for your party:

  • An open bar
  • Beer and wine
  • Signature cocktails with beer and wine
  • A cash bar
  • A dry event

Cake and decorations

  • A cake from a commercial bakery can be brought in for a $25 fee.
  • Table decorations and flowers are welcome.
  • Nothing goes on the walls, and no confetti.

Large tables in the dining room

You do not have to book a room to bring a group. A large table in the dining room is handled the way the menus set out:

In an effort to ensure timely service, all parties of 7 or more will need to be processed in a single transaction (no splitting of checks) & a gratuity of 20% will be automatically applied to the entire check.
Printed on the dinner, lunch and brunch menus
