Questions

Good to know

Can we bring our own alcohol?
We are a BYOB venue. Bring your own wine or spirits; a corkage fee per bottle applies and is settled on the night. For events, the BYOB mixer and bottle-service package covers ice, mixers, glassware and a server for your bottles; choose "open bar" and a bartender is added automatically.
How do we confirm a date?
A 25% deposit confirms your date. We will text you Zelle details, or you can pay by card at the restaurant. The balance is due on the day of the event.
How much notice do you need?
Online requests need at least 3 days' notice and can be made up to 365 days ahead. For something sooner, call us — if the kitchen can do it, we will.
What if we need to cancel or change the guest count?
You can change your menu, add-ons and guest count from your request link until we confirm. After that, call or text us with any change and we adjust your order.
Can we bring a cake?
Yes. Outside cakes are welcome with no cutting fee, or add our honey or Napoleon celebration cake as an add-on.
Are kids welcome?
Family celebrations are a big part of what we do. Tell us how many children are coming in the notes and we will suggest dishes and portions for them.
Is there parking?
Free parking in front of the restaurant on Preston Road, with space for a shuttle or limo drop-off.
Do you have AV for speeches and slideshows?
A projector, screen and wireless microphone are available as an add-on; our DJ package includes the sound system.
Does the weekend minimum apply?
Yes: on Friday and Saturday the food part of your estimate is topped up to $35 per guest if your menu comes in lower.
