Menu
For events that have 25 or more guests, we require self-serve buffet services. We have a variety of menus available to customize your offerings. You can choose our “All-You-Can-Eat” pricing structure to take out the guess work or go with a “Fixed Quantity Pricing” option that is great for assuring you have just enough to eat along with a larger bar budget. For smaller group bookings, we can offer our regular menu or we would happily help you create the perfect pre-fixe menu for your occasion!
