​MENU & FORMAT

This experience features four courses served to the center of the table for sharing: snacks, salad and pasta, entrée, and dessert. Optional upgrades are available. Menus are planned with our team around peak seasonal ingredients and prepared by James Beard Award-winning Chef Joseph Lenn. The format is designed around larger preparations intended to be enjoyed by the group together.

 

Menu selections are due four days before your event. To maintain food quality and timing, service begins at your reserved start time and follows a coordinated pace.

​

DIETARY RESTRICTIONS

For Center of the Table, we are unable to accommodate vegan, dairy-free, seed oil-free or allium-free dietary restrictions or allergies due to the shared, fixed-format nature of the menu. Limited vegetarian requests may be reviewed on a case-by-case basis depending on seasonal menu availability and cannot be guaranteed. All other allergies or dietary considerations must be communicated in writing when your menu is confirmed and no later than 72 hours before your reservation. Our team will collaborate with you on appropriate accommodations whenever possible.

​

BEVERAGES

Our sommelier team will collaborate with you to set a beverage plan in advance, including curated bottles from our cellar, guided pairings, a signature cocktail, or a per-guest plan. Thoughtful non-alcoholic options are available. We do not offer corkage; outside wine is not permitted under our current policy.

 

AVAILABILITY

Offered Tuesday through Saturday for groups of seven to 20 guests. Parties are seated as a set of tables in the dining room, which remains open to other guests.

 

We offer two seating windows: First Seating, with start times between 5:00 and 5:45 p.m., and Second Seating, beginning at 7:45 p.m. or later. Reservations have a standard duration of 2.5 hours.

​​

We do our best to keep groups together comfortably. Parties of up to 14 guests may be seated at one table. For parties of 15 to 20 guests, we use two tables located near one another in the dining room.

​

For groups larger than 20, or for those wanting more privacy, reserving the main dining room or arranging a full restaurant buyout is required. Please visit Groups & Parties for details.

HEADCOUNT & RECONFIRMATION

This number becomes the billing guarantee and cannot be reduced after that time. Increases after the deadline are subject to availability and will be billed per person. Children are billed at the same per-person rate as adults unless other arrangements are confirmed in advance. Service begins at your reserved start time, and pacing is maintained to protect food quality.

​

CANCELLATION POLICY

Cancellations or reductions are accepted up to 72 hours before your reservation for a full refund. After this point, the reservation is considered confirmed, the deposit is non-refundable, and the guaranteed count will be billed in full, as ingredients and staffing are secured for your group. No-shows are billed at the per-person menu price. Written confirmation of allergies and dietary considerations is required when the menu is finalized.
