Menu

Every party menu is based on our monthly restaurant fare, the size of your group, and the production schedule of our kitchen. Please visit with one of our managers to discuss the specifics of your event. We’ve got the perfect recipe for your event success!

The following points are some basic menu guidelines to help you begin to plan for your group:

  • Groups of 15 or fewer may order directly from our restaurant menu. You may also pre-select your favorite items to create a custom bill of fare for your group. We will print an attractive menu for you. A la carte prices apply.
  • If your group is more than 15 we will work with you to plan a special menu for your group.
  • Pre-selected entrees with a confirmed number for each entrée ARE REQUIRED for most groups larger than 30.  Custom menus are designed for a party of this size based on the menu offered during the month of your event.
  • Entree buffets are available for certain dinner events.
    Buffet table attendants are required for all buffet events. Attendant fees will be included in the service charges on your final bill. Fees vary depending on the particulars of your event–we will give you a complete quote after we discuss the finer details.

WHAT IS THE PRICE RANGE FOR LUNCH & DINNER & COCKTAIL PARTIES?

Including menu, service charges, room fee, and sales tax average costs are:

  • Lunch:  $30-$40 per person
  • Dinner:  $48-$75 per person
  • Cocktail Parties:  $24-$36 per person

Costs are based on an average that we see as the bottom line for the typical party hosted in our private room excluding alcoholic beverages.

WHAT ARE THE SERVICE CHARGES? 

Service charges are based on percentages of the total sales of your party before taxes.

We staff the Pavilion Room independently from the restaurant. That means that your servers are only working for you. The minimum service charge for each staff member is $120. If 20% of your party’s total sales does not meet the minimum service charge then we will automatically increase the service charge to meet those minimums.

Events that additional staff such as culinary/chefs, bussers, additional bartenders, etc. will incur additional service charges to cover staff members as necessary.  See “additional labor charges” below.

WHAT IS THE 5% SERVICE CHARGE? 

This charge is added only to cocktail and buffet-style parties to cover our additional linen expenses and buffet equipment usage.

WHAT ARE  ADDITIONAL LABOR CHARGES? 

Many events require additional non-waiter personnel.  These individuals are additional floor staff or our culinary professionals who are assigned only to your party.   These staff are included in the service charge calculations.

WHY IS THERE A BARTENDER CHARGE IF I HAVE A WAITER? 

We include a bartender charge if you are having a cash bar or a larger party that requires additional staff to do extensive set-up and/or offer non-stop service at the bar. Generally, the “bartender” is just one of the team members that are working your party.

CAN WE GET SEPARATE CHECKS? 

We are not able to separate checks in the private dining room. Our questions & challenges:  Who is responsible for the room fee & service charges? Would you like those divided equally among each guest or each ticket? Are all the guests aware of the room fee & service charges? Are you prepared to wait while the separate checks are tallied?
Even with computers 15 tickets can take a while.  The only way we are able to offer separate checks is to evenly divide the final bill among the forms of payment.

WHAT TIME DOES MY PARTY END?

We allow 2-3 hours for Lunch events and 3 hours for Dinner events and cocktail parties.

Our Lunch kitchen closes at 2:00 p.m.  Dinner service ends at 9:00 p.m.
