Private events

The Mezzanine

A nook of our own making, half a flight up and looking over the dining room. Close enough to feel the restaurant, far enough to hear each other. It suits the dinner that is too big for a table and too small for a floor of its own.

Capacity 10–25 guests

  • No minimum spend and no set menu required: your party can sit here and order à la carte.
  • Mosaic lamps overhead and the whole room below you.
  • Semi-private: the corner is yours while the restaurant carries on around you.

Good to know

How a private event works

No room fee
There is no room rental fee. Every private event runs on a food and beverage minimum, set for your date, your room and your guest count. If the bill lands under it, the difference is charged as a room charge.
Deposit
A deposit holds your date and is applied to your final bill. The amount follows the menu and the guest count. Your date is confirmed once the signed agreement and the deposit are both in; until then it stays pending.
Guaranteed guest count
We ask for your final guest count in writing 7 days before the event. It can go up after that, never down. If we do not hear from you, the estimate on your agreement becomes the guaranteed count.
Cancellation
The cancellation window is agreed when you sign, typically 15 days before the event. Cancel inside the agreed window and your deposit is refunded in full, within 15 days.
Decorations
You are welcome to decorate the room. Tell us what you are planning ahead of the day. Nothing may be fixed to the walls, ceilings or fixtures in a way that damages them, and confetti, glitter and open flame are not allowed.
Outside food
The food and drink come from our kitchen and bar. The one exception is a celebration cake, agreed with us in advance.

Questions

Asked most often

  • Do we have to take a set menu?

    Not at all. The mezzanine is the one space with no menu condition: your party can sit down and order à la carte, exactly as they would downstairs.

  • Is it fully private?

    It is semi-private. You have the nook, your own table and your own server, with the dining room open below you. For a room with a door on it, the Gold Room upstairs is the one you want.

  • What if our party grows?

    Then we move you upstairs. The mezzanine tops out at the number on its card above, and the Gold Room picks up from there without changing anything about your menu.
