2026 GRAD WEEKEND FAQS…

  • WE CAN’T WAIT TO HOST YOU (AND OF COURSE YOUR GRADUATE!) FOR THIS INCREDIBLY SPECIAL EVENT

  • THERE IS A MAXIMUM TABLE SIZE OF EIGHT DURING PEAK TIME (5P-8P). WE WILL DO OUR BEST TO SEAT LARGER GROUPS AT TABLES BY EACH OTHER, BUT WE ABSOLUTELY CAN’T GUARANTEE THIS.

  • WE ARE UNABLE TO OFFER PRIVATE ROOMS OR SCHEDULE EVENTS DURING GRAD WEEKEND.

  • NO REQUESTS WILL BE ALLOWED FOR PATIO SEATING UNTIL GRAD WEEK, DUE TO CHANGING WEATHER FORECAST.
