Food and Drinks Made Easy

Your party should be enjoyable for you, too.

Depending on the space, group size and type of event, we offer a range of food, limited-menu, buffet and beverage options. Bar arrangements may also be available, including hosted or guest-purchase options.

Our events team will help you explore the choices that work best for your party.

Let Us Help You Find the Right Space

Tell us your preferred date, estimated number of guests and the kind of event you are planning. We will help you determine which of our spaces—and which food and beverage options—best fit your celebration.

One Destination. Four Distinct Spaces.

Not every celebration needs a ballroom—and not every party fits around one restaurant table.

Whether you are planning a relaxed get-together with friends, a birthday dinner, a company gathering or a fully private event, our team can help you select the space that best matches your guest count, atmosphere and budget.
