We ask that you limit your entrée choices to three or four. We do not need to know ahead of time how many of your guests will be ordering each entrée. Your server will ask each guest their selection from a special menu that will be typed for your private function. Please notify us of your menu selections two weeks in advance. -
Beverage Selection
Coffee, Tea, Pop or Milk are all 2.50 with free refills and are to be included on the host bill.
From the Bar
Please indicate if your function will be a host paid bar, cash bar paid by your guests, or a combination offering a limited selection of alcohol.
Wines
You will find a wide range of choices to fit your guests varying tastes. We are happy to provide our full wine list for your review. We suggest wine selections be made at least one week in advance, as some wines availability is limited. If you bring in your own wine, there is a $15 corkage fee per each 750 ml bottle. -
Desserts
We suggest allowing your guests to choose two selections, including flavored cheesecakes, delicious tortes or our housemade Tiramisù and Crème Brûlée. Prices start at $7. You may also select sherbet or vanilla ice cream with chocolate sauce or liqueur toppings ($3 to $4). There is a service charge of $2 per person for desserts brought into the restaurant and they cannot be homemade. During the holidays, we offer special seasonal selections. Please ask when you are setting up your party.
