We will take great care of you in one or more of our gathering spaces.  Some are perfect for sit down gatherings, while every space is perfect for a cocktail style occasion. The Wine Room seats 40 guests and the Bar can host 60 guests standing cocktail style for a lively gathering.  The upstairs lounge can set the mood for lively or intimate celebrations.  Dine rain or shine, summer or winter, in our partially enclosed and heated outdoor Rooftop Garden that seats 60, and hosts 160 guests cocktail style. 

Our lovely spaces can be used for holiday lunches, cocktail receptions, celebratory dinners and even grand events up to 350. The Lounge flows out to our Rooftop Garden to accomodate 250 guests cocktail style for a fabulous reception.
