Details | Guarantee of Attendance and Minimums
In order to ensure the success of your function, the management and culinary team must be notified of the exact and final number of guests five business days prior to your function at the latest. If that guarantee is not confirmed then, the original expected count will be considered the guarantee. This number will be charged even if fewer guests attend. The restaurant will prepare food for 5% over the guaranteed number. Meal functions will be set for the expected count. If the guarantee is increased within 72 hours of the event, the restaurant reserves the right to substitute menu items. A $4 per person surcharge will be charged to the account for an increase in the guarantee within 24 hours prior to the event. A party may also secure a ‘buyout’ of the dining room for a $5000.00 minimum on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Sunday evenings.

What our guests are saying
Yummy dinner for Tuesday date night. A cozy vibe in the main dining hall, we had wonderful service from Joanne. The clam chowder and French onion soup were wonderful starters. The Sheppard’s pie and chicken pot pie was light and full of texture. We ended with a warm apple crisp.
Karl L.
Best special around. 12 bucks for a great burger and a beer. Can’t beat it.
James E.
Large bar, casual atmosphere. Clean. Friendly service. Irish egg rolls were so good we almost ordered a 2nd order but decided, instead to split the nachos and were not disappointed! Wonderful night out! Highly recommend.
