Common Questions

How far in advance should I book?

We recommend at least 2–3 weeks for weekday events and 4–6 weeks for peak Friday/Saturday evenings. Popular dates fill quickly.

Is there a minimum spend?

Yes — food-and-beverage minimums range from $2,500 (off-peak) to $5,500 (Saturday peak). No separate room fee. Holiday and special-event nights priced separately. A 20% service charge is added to all events.

Can I bring my own cake or decorations?

Yes. Outside cakes are welcome with a cake-cutting fee. Decorations are allowed — nothing that requires drilling or permanent fixing.

Is the room soundproofed from the main dining area?

The private dining section is semi-partitioned. For fully private events we can close off the space — subject to capacity and date.

Do you accommodate dietary restrictions?

Absolutely. Let us know your guests' needs when you enquire and our chef will build options around them.

What is the cancellation policy?

Cancellations made 7+ days before the event receive a full refund of the room deposit. Inside 7 days the deposit is non-refundable. Food minimums are billed on actual spend.
