​MENU & FORMAT

This experience features four courses: snack plates, small plates, and larger plates served to the center of the table for sharing, followed by individually plated dessert.

​

Menus are planned with our team around peak seasonal ingredients and prepared under the direction of James Beard Award–winning Chef Joseph Lenn. Optional upgrades, substitutions, and add-ons may be available and are generally ordered for the entire group unless otherwise confirmed in advance.

​

Final menu selections, including upgrades, substitutions, add-ons, and dietary requests, are due in writing no later than 7 days before your reservation. Menu items are subject to seasonal availability, and substitutions may be made as needed to maintain the quality and integrity of the menu.

​

To maintain food quality and timing, service begins at your reserved start time and follows a coordinated pace.

​​

DIETARY RESTRICTIONS

Due to the shared, fixed-format nature of the Center of the Table menu, we are unable to accommodate vegan, dairy-free, seed oil-free, or allium-free dietary restrictions or allergies.

​

Gluten-free and vegetarian requests may be reviewed on a case-by-case basis depending on seasonal menu availability and cannot be guaranteed. Approved accommodations are limited to one Chef-selected dietary option per course, served individually in place of shared courses. A $10 per accommodated guest upcharge applies.

​

All allergies and dietary considerations must be submitted in writing with final menu selections, no later than 7 days before your reservation. Late requests cannot be guaranteed.

​

BEVERAGES

Our sommelier team can help you plan beverages in advance, including curated bottles from our cellar, wine pairings, signature cocktails, or a per-guest beverage plan. Thoughtful non-alcoholic options are also available. Beverages are charged by the drink or bottle unless a per-guest beverage plan is confirmed in advance. Outside wine is not permitted, and we do not offer corkage under our current policy.

 

AVAILABILITY

HEADCOUNT & RECONFIRMATION

A final headcount, including all adults and children, must be submitted in writing by email to hello@jcholdway.com no later than 72 hours before your reservation. This number becomes the billing guarantee. Phone calls are not accepted for final headcount confirmation. If a final headcount is not received by the deadline, the confirmed guest count on file will be used for billing. This deadline is firm. Children are included in the final headcount and 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 follows a coordinated pace to protect the quality of the meal. Late arrivals do not delay service or extend the reservation time. We will follow up 24 hours before your reservation to confirm arrival time and final details.

​

DEPOSIT & PAYMENT

A $500 deposit and signed agreement are required to secure your Center of the Table reservation. Your reservation is not held until both are received. The deposit is applied to your final bill and is refundable only in accordance with the Cancellation Policy. Final payment is due at the conclusion of your reservation. Up to two forms of payment may be used for the final bill.

​

CANCELLATION POLICY

Cancellations must be submitted in writing by email to hello@jcholdway.com. Cancellations received at least 72 hours before your reservation are eligible for a full refund of the deposit. After the 72-hour deadline, the reservation is considered confirmed. The deposit becomes non-refundable, and the guaranteed count, or the 7-guest minimum table commitment when applicable, will be billed in full, plus applicable tax and service charge. No-shows are billed in the same manner.

​​

LAST-MINUTE CENTER OF THE TABLE REQUESTS

Requests made less than 7 days in advance may be reviewed on a case-by-case basis and are accepted only when table availability and kitchen timing allow. Last-minute requests are best suited to a standard Center of the Table menu with limited or no modifications. In rare cases, requests may be considered with very short notice when the menu can follow the restaurant’s standard selections, including Chef-selected dessert, no changes to the large plates, and no significant dietary accommodations. If approved, the signed agreement, deposit, menu selections, final headcount, and all reservation details may be required immediately. Dietary accommodations for last-minute reservations may be limited or unavailable.
