Additional charges
There is a $500 deposit to hold the date/space, which is deducted from the subtotal of your final bill (this cannot be deducted from tax or gratuity). This can be submitted by mail or in person by check, or in person or over the phone via credit card. At the end of your event, you will be presented with one check than can be split up to 5 ways. Please note that the deduction of the deposit will be split evenly among payment methods, and we advise that parties make the necessary arrangements to recoup the deposit from other members of the party if necessary. This deposit is subject to a 14-day cancellation policy, in which case the deposit is forfeit in the event of a cancellation without proper advance notice (all cancellations must be made prior to the two weeks immediately before the event). Unless otherwise quoted, your $500 deposit also acts as a $500 minimum spend. In the event your minimum spend is not met, the difference will be added to your bill as a rental fee. We also require a signed copy of our private dining contract, which outlines our basic policies for all private dining events, and ask that you provide us with your final headcount no later than 72 hours prior to your event. Please account for charges of 8% tax and 20% gratuity in addition to any estimates or quoted prices. 

Please note that payment is due on the day of your event, upon presentation of the bill in the form of cash or credit card. We are happy to provide an itemized receipt for reimbursement, but we ask that you make the necessary payment arrangements with your organization in advance, as we are unable to invoice your organization for payment.
