To respect neighbors and other businesses in the community, we require all events end by 1:00 a.m; we value our presence in the community and wish to remain in compliance.

Our round tables measure 60 inches in diameter and seat seven to nine guests, depending on the type of chairs used. Rectangle tables measure 6 by 2.5 feet and seat eight guests.
