FAQs

  • No. At this time the Gallery and Understory are only accessible by stairs.

  • We ask for a final headcount and your menu selections at least 2 weeks in advance of your event. This allows our Chef plenty of time to source, order and prepare specialty items not typically in the restaurant.

  • We understand things come up. Your rental fee is nonrefundable. Any cancelations less than 5 days from your event date will be subject to 50% of the food cost based on your menu selections.

  • Our lower level is a great space for mingling and connecting conversation. This space does not have dining tables or chairs which is why we offer appetizers and small, sharable bites to enjoy in The Understory.

  • Absolutely! Since these are our dining spaces, we’re happy to craft both shareable bites and/or a dinner menu for your event.

  • Yes! For groups of 30 or less, we offer the option to serve plated or coursed dinner service. Prices vary from those on this brochure. Contact us to learn more.
