Large Party FAQs

See All

Do I really need to do a prefix menu?

Yes, we require a price-fixed menu for parties larger than 8 guests to ensure a smooth service for all our guests. We offer several prix-fixe options, served family style, starting at $89 per person (taxes and fees not included).

How long do I have my table for?

Your table is reserved for 2 ½ hours.

Why do I need to fill out a contract and credit card authorization form?

The contract secures your reservation and includes information about your reservation details. The credit card provided also confirms your reservation. Nothing is charged to the credit card provided at the time of booking and you may pay with a different card at the time of your reservation.

Do you split checks?

We do not allow split checks, but are able to evenly divide the bill between up to four credit cards.

What is your cancellation policy?

We require 24-hour notice for guest count changes and 48-hour notice for total cancellation. If the guest count shifts without 24-hour notice, the number of guests listed on the signed contract will be used to calculate the necessary charge. A full charge will apply if there is less than 48-hour notice of cancellation.

What if I have over 30 people in my group?

A party of 30 or greater qualifies as a private event. Inquiries for events of this size may go through our sales department, and can be booked via [email protected].

What if I have dietary restrictions?

We offer vegan and vegetarian menu items and with advance notice we can accommodate most dietary requests.

What is your corkage fee?

$35 per 750 ml bottle corkage fee for any outside bottle brought into the restaurant, with a bottle maximum of 2 per group.

Can I bring decorations for the table?

Yes, small table decor is allowed, but all decor needs to be approved by the Restaurant Event Coordinator.

Can I bring my own dessert?

Guests are welcome to brin their own dessert to be served in addition to their menus. We charge $5 per person for any outside dessert brought into the restaurant should you wish to have it served by our staff.

What if I have kids? Do they need to eat off the set menu?

For groups with five (5) or fewer children, we are happy to offer our à la carte kids’ options. For groups with six (6) or more children, our Kids’ Pre-Fixe Menu at $30 per child is required.

Can I request a specific table?

We cannot guarantee specific table assignments though we do try our best to accommodate all requests.

Can I move tables together to have my larger group seated together?

We are able to accommodate larger groups at combined tables in most cases. Table configuration is dependent on the specific date and time of your event and will be confirmed with our Food & Beverage Admin / Semi-Private Events Coordinator.
