Parties & private events
Take the room for the evening
Birthdays, rehearsal dinners, team dinners that need a real table rather than a corner of a bar. Tell us the date and the headcount and we will come back with what the room can do.
Call Reyhan · (858) 337-5227Three rooms to take over
Tell us the date and the headcount and we will come back with what each room can do, and what the kitchen can put in front of your table.
Front Dining Room
The main room, hung with the paintings. Seats a party without shutting the restaurant.
Wine Room
The enclosed room. Right for a dinner that wants a door on it — rehearsal dinners, small celebrations.
Outdoor Patio
The long table under the umbrellas, heat lamps on. The one people ask for by name.
