Up to 20 guests sit at one long table. From 21 to 30, guests stand and the table becomes a buffet.
Minimum spend from $1,500 on Tuesday to Sunday. Set menu of three courses, planned with our chef.
How booking works
- Hold the date. Send the date and a rough guest count. We hold the room for 48 hours while you decide.
- Pay the deposit. A $300 deposit books the room. It comes off your final bill.
- Plan the menu with Nora. About two weeks before, you choose three courses from a short list built on what is in season.
- Send the guest list. Send the final count and every allergy or dietary need 72 hours before. We plan a plate for each one.
Monday buyouts
We are closed to the public on Mondays. Book the whole restaurant for up to 48 seated or 70 standing, with the kitchen and the full team working your event.
Questions about events
What does the $1,500 minimum spend include?
Food, drinks, HST and service all count toward the minimum. If your bill comes in under it, the difference is added as a room fee.
Can we bring our own cake?
Yes. We plate and serve it for $3 a guest. Our pastry cook can also make one for you with two weeks' notice.
Is the back room step-free?
Yes. The patio entrance and the back room are on one level, and the step-free washroom is next to the room.
