Semi-private dining is a flexible option for groups of 20-50 guests. A section of the restaurant is reserved and set apart for your group, giving you a more intimate atmosphere without needing to book the full private room. It's perfect for celebrations, business dinners, or groups that want some privacy with a casual, relaxed feel. All events have a food and beverage minimum that varies by season.
