All food prepared for on-site banquets will be displayed for a maximum of three hours.
Non-buffet banquet food items may be taken off premises after the three-hour display period. Food prepared for buffet options must be consumed on premises and take-out boxes will not be provided. Due to unpredictable shipping, we cannot guarantee that banquet food orders received less than 30 days prior to a function will be available. Food quantities ordered for on-site events must coincide with the guest count. In order to best serve your guests, the F&B Supervisor must be notified of the guaranteed attendance figure ten (10) business days prior to the event. This number will constitute a guarantee, not subject to reduction, and you will be charged for this number of guests, or the number of meals served, whichever is greater. If no guarantee is provided, you will be charged for the estimated attendance that is documented on the Banquet Event Order (BEO) or the number of guests served, whichever is greater. All menu prices are subject to change without notice.
