Catering & Event Policies
Menu Selection
Please provide your menu selection to the catering department 2 weeks in advance of your event to ensure availability. Menu prices are guaranteed for two months from the date of booking. When selecting your menu choice, please remember that for each meal function, the menu must be identical for all guests attending.
The kitchen will gladly provide for vegetarians (specify type of vegetarian i.e. vegan, ovo, etc.) and special dietary restrictions if informed 72 hours before your event. Any changes under/after this time frame will be charged additionally.
Gourmet menus
Our Executive Chef would be happy to meet with you and develop a special menu for your event. Please note, certain items require up to two weeks advance notice for delivery.
Taxes
**Please note that prices do not include taxes.
Menu prices and other items are subject to change based on market conditions. Final price may be confirmed 60 days prior to your event. A 18% service charge will be added, as well as 13% HST.
Attendance
We request the catering department be informed by 12 noon 72 hours prior to your event to guarantee the attendance at your function. Functions held on Mondays and Tuesdays require confirmation by 12 noon on the Thursday prior to the event.
If the guaranteed number has not been received, the billing will reflect the number of persons for which the function was originally booked.
