To open privately for your group, a minimum spend is required. Meal prices are provided on a per-person basis and vary according to seasonality and entrée selections.
All meals will be served on white linen tablecloths with black linen napkins, complemented by candlelight ambiance. The restaurant will be exclusively yours for the evening, allowing you to bring in private musicians, video equipment, photographs, easels, place cards for your guests, table decorations, and more.
Please note that we do not possess a liquor license; however, you are welcome to bring your own beer, wine, and/or champagne. While we provide the appropriate stemware, we are unable to serve alcohol. You may pour it yourself at your tables, or if space provides, we can arrange a designated bar area for your event.
To secure your date, a deposit of $500 is required. Your date will be confirmed upon receipt of the deposit. We kindly request that the final balance be settled at least one week prior to your event date. If you are traveling from out of town, please inquire about payment arrangements.
Good food is the foundation of genuine happiness.
