Capacity & layout
SEATED GUESTS
Up to 24 guests
All guests seated together at tables in a reserved section of our upstairs dining room. Full floor buyout is available on select dates with a minimum spend.
STANDING / MIXED
Best for 10–24 guests
Up to ~40 guests for a standing-style reception with some seating.

For most groups of around 10–16 guests, we reserve a dedicated section of the upstairs dining room while the restaurant remains open to other guests. Depending on the date, time, and group size, full or semi-private use of the floor may be available with a minimum spend. Table layouts can be arranged for long tables or smaller groupings. Because the room is on the second floor, your event still feels separate from the main dining area. For larger standing-style receptions around 40 guests, please let us know what you have in mind.
