About our Catering Services...
We cater all types of occasions from intimate gatherings to large-scale events, celebrations, and weddings. We can design menus for any style of dining…picnic, buffet, family-style, or full-service sit down. By request, we can deliver orders, provide staff for set up or full service, and coordinate party supply rental. We are happy to work with you to create a menu to suit your occasion, sensibilities, and budget.
Small take out orders typically require an advance notice of 48 hours. Large orders and all other service are negotiable on a case-by-case basis. Full service is subject to availability of date.
Because we believe in using the freshest ingredients at their peak, what we create in our kitchen is always influenced by the rhythm of the seasons. As a result, some of the dishes on the following menu are only available during certain times of the year while some may need to be slightly modified. Please use this menu as a guideline and a springboard for ideas.
We look forward to the prospect of working with you and making your occasion special and memorable.
