Policies & General Information
The following information is specific to Private Events held inside the restaurant in our Back Room (aka "The Riverboat Room"). Please see Events on the Deck for information regarding private events held in our covered outdoor space.
Booking & Payment
To give you adequate time to consider our event offerings, we will gladly hold a date for your event for 48 hours. A non-refundable deposit of $100 will be requested upon your decision to book your event with us and will be forfeited if event is cancelled. Final payment is due on day of event at its conclusion. Banquet package prices reflect a discount for cash or check settlement. If paying by credit card, please add 4% to your total bill.
Tax & Gratuity
All of our pricing is subject to the customary 18% gratuity and applicable sales tax (currently 8%). Additional gratuities are not expected, however if you feel your event coordinator or service staff has exceeded your expectations you are welcome to provide an additional gratuity. Tax exempt organizations need to present a Tax Exempt Voucher and pay with an organizational check or government voucher.
Guarantee
Guaranteed attendance for your event must be received 10 days prior to the event. Slight variations in your count can be made up until 4 days prior to the event to allow for last minute additions or cancellations. You will be billed for the final number guaranteed, or the number of guests served, whichever is greater.
Pricing for Children
Children under 3 years of age are no charge. Reduced rates may be available for children 3-10 years of age.
Overtime Fees
Prices listed are for a maximum four hour time period but overtime may be available at the discretion of management. There is no option for overtime on Saturday afternoon events if there is another event scheduled later that evening. Saturday daytime events must end no later than 4:00pm. Please note that no events may extend beyond 11:00pm. The charge per hour for overtime is $100 plus tax and gratuity.
Minimums
Banquet packages all have minimum guest requirements (generally for 25 or more guests). Private accommodations in our banquet room may require a minimum of 50 guests on Friday and Saturday evenings or during particular holiday seasons.
Decorations & Confetti
