In order to confirm a reservation for a private Dining Room for functions of up to 100 guests, we require a deposit. This deposit is non-refundable and is applied toward the total bill. The minimum deposit required is $50.00 for lunch and $500.00 for dinner depending upon your selection of the date, time and the room or rooms. Weekend and evening functions require a slightly greater deposit. Reservations will not be confirmed without a deposit.

We must be informed of the final guaranteed total number of guests 2 weeks prior to your scheduled event. This number is not subject to change. You will be billed based on your final guaranteed number of guests, or more if the guest count is over the guaranteed number. A minimum guaranteed guest count is required for the reservation. That number is determined by which room is reserved.
