feast rules:
1. the feast will take place on friday, january 31, 2025 and saturday, February 1, 2025 (pick a night). we will start seating at 6pm and dinner will begin at 6:30pm.
2. there will be 90 seats available each night. if we hit the maximum, you will be placed on a waiting list. we will let you know if you are on the waiting list.
3. cost of the feast is $50/person, tax included. we will seat smaller parties together to create groups of 10 per table. you can buy the whole table if you are inclined.
4. drinks and gratuity will be billed separately. if you do not make a purchase, we would prefer cash for the gratuity. we want to keep things simple for the servers to expedite the end of your meal. you may byo wine and the server will charge bottle fees at the end of the meal. bottle charges are $15/bottle (for bottles larger than 750ml, we reserve the right to charge a higher fee).
5. seats are paid in advanced and non-refundable after sunday, January 24, 2025 at 5pm. cancellations will be given to those at the top of the waiting list. after that it will go on to the next party on the list. any party who cancels before 01.24.25 will get a full refund but please be advised we will only issue refunds in person. in other words, you must be standing in the store with your credit card to receive the refund.
6. for those on the waitlist, if we get an early cancellation, we will start at the top of the list and work our way down as soon as possible. however, we have had some late cancellations in the past, including on the day of the feast. please be amenable to a short notice or even last minute notification.
7. you will be able to start making reservations on wednesday, january 8, 2025 after 11am. you may pay in person (cash, visa, or master) or you can pay over the phone (visa or master only). we do not take any other credit cards. no checks are accepted. please do not call on thursday, as we are off and no one is around to take your call.
8. the feast is "communal" style eating so everyone will be sharing the food on the table. if you buy the whole table, you are able to have up to 12 people at your table. however, we will not be responsible if there is not enough to eat. =) also be advised, if you decide to order "off menu", there will be a delay between when you order and when your food arrives. the kitchen's priority is to serve the feast first.
9. the feast menu will not be posted until monday, january 20, 2025 on our website and Facebook page. please do not email asking what the menu is. i will not tell you and simply direct you to our website or Facebook page on 01.20.25.
10. we do NOT have parking. be aware you should allow time to find parking. there is usually parking along some of the side streets and on broadway and argyle there is meter parking. the parking garage to the north of us may not be open to the public for paid parking, they are doing maintenance work. we will do our best to keep their updates posted, especially if they open in time for the feast. we have a loading zone in front of the restaurant. you will be able to drop off and pick up in front of the restaurant. please be sure to have your flashers on and do not take more than 15 minutes to drop off and pickup passengers where possible. there is always a chance you will get ticketed.
