By evening, the floor pivots effortlessly to weddings and landmark parties, coordinated directly by hosts Katrina and Jason with bespoke canapés, generous cocktails, and zero fuss.

  • Adaptable Celebration Layouts

    Hosts have flexibility to tailor canapé menus, bring games and props, and adjust layouts to suit gatherings from 30ths to weddings.

    They gave me plenty of creative space to have a themed soiree with props and games. None of my requests were too much for them to handle.

  • Dedicated Dog-Friendly Hospitality

    Canine guests are welcomed with complimentary puppycinos, a covered heated outdoor area for all weather, and a beloved puppy wall.

    My pup loved the free puppycino, and the beautiful outdoor covered area (with heaters!) made it the perfect spot to relax even with all the rain this weekend.

Beloved brunch and breakfast staples served fresh daily

  • Eggs Benedict

    This morning I ordered the Salmon Eggs Benedict, and it was honestly the best Eggs Benedict I've ever had. The classic combination was executed perfectly, and the hollandaise sauce was absolutely spot on.
