For larger events — most notably around the holiday season — reserving your spot even earlier gives us time to fully prepare. Securing your date sooner also give our team greater flexibility to refine your service experience.
Can your culinary crew handle dietary restrictions for guests?
Definitely. Our culinary team routinely accommodates a wide range of food allergies — such as kosher, halal, and dairy-free needs. At the menu design stage, we gather information about your guests' dietary needs to guarantee everyone at your event has great options.
Do you supply cocktail equipment and service tools with your event catering packages?
Our comprehensive event catering packages cover all bar essentials and supplies as a standard component of the overall offering.
