What does the banquet room cost?

Nothing! But we do have a minimum charge. $400 for lunch, $500 on a week night, $600 on Friday nights and $750 on Saturday nights. This covers your first 2 hours. After that, the room charge is $30 per hour. Minimum charges may increase during Christmas season. The minimum includes food and beverage sales incurred the day of the scheduled event only. This does not include any tax, gratuity, gift certificate or carry out sales.

What does the minimum cover?

All food and beverage but not tax, tip or other charges.

Deposits

We can only hold dates for 48 hours without a deposit. Deposits are $200 for weekdays and $300 for weekends. We will issue you a gift certificate that you can use the night of your event.

Cancellations

Less than 30 days prior to the event, the deposit will be forfeited. 30 to 60 days prior to the event, the deposit will be returned in the form of a gift certificate to be used at your discretion. More than 60 days in advance we will refund the deposit. Deposit for weather related cancellations will not be forfeited if the party is rebooked.

Confirmations

48 hours before your event we will ask for a confirmation of the number of guests. We will be ready for that number. In the event that less people show we will refund half of no show meals, charging you for half of the no show meals, above the minimum

What about beverages?

To all banquets we add 1.75 per person for bottomless coffee and iced tea. Coffee cups and thermal carafes will be set on the tables. Beer, liquor, wine, and soda are charged individually.

Billing

We accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Discover. We will take a check or direct bill if previously approved. We will also provide you with an itemized copy of the bill at the end of event.

We cannot do separate checks in the banquet room. If your event requires guest to be responsible for their expenses, we will work with you in setting a per person cost to be collected by the host.

Tipping & Tax

We will add sales tax rate (7%) and tip (17%).

Pricing

All pricing is based on offering 3 choices for your banquet. If you are offering only one choice we can lower the price between 5-10%. If offering more than 3 choices there will be a surcharge.

Menu planning

A week ahead or more gives us plenty of time to prepare. All of our plates are setup hot and immediately before serving. We do not recommend steaks as a choice on the weekend, but prime rib and pork chops are a good meat selection. If your group can pre-order we can fax you a sign up sheet with their choices. On certain occasions, we will allow groups of under 20 to order off menu, excluding weekend nights and lunch hour.
