FOOD & BEV SERVICE
-
Groups up to 16: all food and beverage a la carte off our regular dinner menu.
Groups of 17-28: food is served family-style in 3 courses (small plates, entrees, dessert). There is wine by the bottle and all other beverages available a la carte.
No to-go food or additional meals are permitted for private events.
-
You are welcome to bring your own cake. For family-style events we’ll serve your cake instead of our house dessert course. You may bring in your own wine, the corkage fee will go toward your bar minimum.
-
Absolutely. If your group is doing a la carte, your server will be able to walk your guest(s) through their options on the dinner menu.
For family-style groups, we can make adjustments to the offerings as a whole or make your guest(s) a separate dish for the first & second course.
-
Options include salads, appetizers, wood-fired pizza, entrees, and cheesecake for dessert.
Not all of our dinner menu is available family-style so there are some limitations on the family-style menu.

After your room rental fee is collected, we’ll work on selecting a menu (for family-style groups). Once the menu is confirmed we’re all set for your event!
