Private Events FAQ

What is a minimum? 
A minimum is just what it sounds like - the minimum amount you will spend in food and beverages. In addition to the minimum, you should anticipate and budget for the event planning fee ($150.00 - $500.00 depending on the event), service charge (20%(20% - covers compensation for staff, but extra gratuity is always appreciated), tax (8.75%), and any additional services or rentals. We base our minimums on what the restaurant sales would be on a similar night if we were open to the public.

What if don’t meet my minimum?
If you don’t meet your minimum, you will be billed for the minimum fee plus the event fee, service charge, tax, and any additional services or rentals as detailed on your contract.

What if I exceed my minimum?
If you exceed your minimum your bill will reflect the actual accrued charges plus the event fee, service charge, tax, and any additional services or rentals as detailed on your contract.

The prices are beyond my budget. Are there other options? 
Of course there are, but they will not guarantee exclusive use. We can treat your party like a regular reservation but we do not allow speeches, ceremonies, toasts, presentations, or other activities that we deem might be distracting to other diners.

What if I’ve reserved the patio and it rains? 
In the event of bad weather, we will hold space inside one of our dining rooms to accommodate your event. We will work with you to move your party inside and accommodate you and your guests.

What additional charges can I expect?
An event planning fee ($150.00 - $1,000.00 depending on the event), service charge (20% - covers compensation for staff, but extra gratuity is always appreciated), tax (8.75%), and any additional services or rentals, additional hours, and additional planning or coordination are extra and vary depending on your requirements.
