What Is A Plated Dinner?

With this option, we will plate and serve your guests a salad, and then serve an entree plate.  Bread baskets with butter will be placed at each table for self-service.

The Salad

Each plated dinner includes a personal garden salad with bowls of dressing on each table.  We offer upgrades to our salads if you prefer something different.

There are two options available as far as salad service.  Salads can be preset, which means they will be ready at each place setting when you arrive. 

They can also be served, which means we will bring the salads from the kitchen and serve only when you are ready to eat.  This is the typical option, especially if there is a cocktail hour.

The Dinner

The dinner plate is served after your guests have finished their salads and we have cleared their plates.

Each plated dinner option includes your entree (or multiple entrees) plus two sides choices.  For side choices we recommend one vegetable and one starch (potato, rice or pasta).  Additional sides are available for an additional charge.

To ensure the quality of our food, and the service time involved, we highly recommend having only one plate choice per event.  This means with the exception of a few (special diets, kids, etc.) every guest will receive the same plate.  Food will come out of our kitchen faster, will be served by our staff faster and everyone will receive much hotter food.

We understand that not everyone will want to eat the same thing, that's why we offer combination plates.  These combo plates include multiple entrees on a single plate, allowing you to offer your guests more variety. 

I Want My Guests To "Choose" A Plated Entree

If you insist on plated choices for your event (for example you want 80 chicken and 50 salmon), we must charge a $500.00 "Plating Fee".  This is a flat fee to cover our additional kitchen and wait staff needed to serve your guests and will be charged as a flat rate, regardless of your final count.

Vegetarian/Vegan/Kids/Gluten-Free, Etc.

We will gladly accommodate vegetarian/vegan, special dietary restrictions and kid entrees with no minimum (prior notice required).  You will not be charged the "plating fee" because of these items.

Our Menu Choices

Below you will find our "typical" plated items.  We can create a plate that matches your taste and could plate most items found in our buffet menu, or any special requests.  We have found that pairing multiple options with a single sauce (as found below) will create a more unified plate (and happier guests).

Our room rental rates plus the menu price will be the majority of your bill from us.  Unlike most caterers and banquet halls, we do not charge extra for the staffing, linens, tables, china, chairs, and more!  Click here to find out what is included.
