Open guideBecause the private-dining experience still feels like hospitality. Hosts get a polished room, a strong dinner foundation, and the option to let the night continue beyond the meal if that is the goal.
Use private dining when the event is still dinner-led. Use the broader private-events flow when guest count, room customization, or a longer program starts exceeding a standard hosted dinner format.
Open private events first for room fit and planning, then open the menu to shape the hosted meal and the pacing of the night.
Start with the top sections and reservation timing guidance, then use the jump links to focus on the parts most relevant to your plan.
For weekend visits, plan and reserve 2-5 days ahead. For major holidays or private events, planning 2-4 weeks ahead gives you better availability.
