Group Dining Menu

Many of our groups prefer to prearrange a group dining menu for their tour group members. Our group dining menu makes planning and budgeting easy for everyone. Each group dining option allows meeting planners to maintain their budget by assigning a fixed cost to the meals on a per person basis. While at the same time, our menu choices within each meal budget give guests the opportunity to choose what they prefer to eat without being limited by a preset entreé. Group Dining Menu

Catering Menu

Plan ahead and order the meals for your meetings and special events. We'll arrange a private room for your guests to dine in, allowing them the opportunity to network with coworkers during a conference or visit with family members attending a wedding. Catering Menu
