A Private Affair...
LUNCHEON
Monday to Saturday
We are flattered by your inquiry of our private dining facilities!  Together
we can create a memorable event of exciting cuisine, quality service, and a
truly unique style. On the following pages are several options for each course of the meal.
Please, call us with any questions you might have.

Booking the Event
    Our intimate kitchen  is committed to high quality
cuisine for these events.  It is in this light that we ask you to work with
us on the planning of your event within these guidelines, which are designed
to ensure the outstanding experience we hope to provide. If you have any
special needs, please ask and we will do our best to accommodate your requests.

We accommodate private party arrangements for groups of 12-45 people. Luncheon arrangements can be made Monday through Saturday, while Dinner arrangements are made Sunday through Thursday. Groups with fewer than 15 people are invited to order off the dining room menu. For groups 16 people or larger, you are invited to create your own personalized menu from the enclosed offerings.

One week prior to the event we ask you to agree on a final menu.  At
that time we request a commitment to the number of guests, which will be the
basis for menu preparation.  In that light, accuracy is important as
unexpected guests may effect the available amounts of menu items, and absent
guests will be reflected in the final total (based on an average per person
price of your menu and 100% of the confirmed number.)

The host of a group of 16 or larger is asked to work with us using the
enclosed material to create a custom, personalized menu for the occasion.
We will print your custom menu for your guests' convenience.  Once the menu
is determined, groups of 20 or larger are requested to provide their guests
actual selections one week prior to the event.  If your party is less than
15, if you prefer your guests may order off of the restaurant menu,  rather
than a custom menu.

Thank you again for requesting information on our private dining facilities!

At lunch and dinner we are serving our dining room guests, but if you call
us with any questions between 9am & 11am or between 2pm & 5pm we'd love to
help you or, if you prefer leave us a message with the best time to reach you.
Sincerely,
Tom Leone
Food and Beverage Director

First Course
    The first course is served once the guests sit down, opening courses
give the menu variety as well as provide a time buffer (main courses, once
ordered, are 20 to 25 minutes in preparation).  A choice between soup and
one of our salads offers a bit more variety to your guests.  You might
consider serving a pre-arranged salad course or,  again offering your guests
more variety; offer a choice between two of the following salads.

one vegetarian selection.  Because of fresh ingredient availability,

Beverage Service
When planning beverage service for your event please consider whether you would prefer an "open" bar or "cash" bar. When you pre-determine that the bar will be "open" whatever your guest's request will be served and added to the bill. When a "cash" bar is arranged your guests will be charged for their beverage (regrettably tabs cannot be accommodated).

Our bar provides a complete array of liquors, mixers, beer and liqueurs from around the globe-also a reasonably priced selection of fine wines by the glass or bottle.

Wine or champagne can add a festive dimension to your event. A toast can be arranged, or a bottle of wine or champagne can be placed on each table. This is a good strategy for a host who wouldn't like their guests to pay cash, but is also concerned that the bar tab, unchecked, may grow beyond a tolerable size.

Sweet Lorraine's vision for beverage service includes equal attention to non-alcoholic specialties. Sparkling apple cider can bring enthusiastic "cheers" to a toast. Our own punch recipes-with or without alcohol-may also be arranged.

Coffee, Iced Tea and Fountain Soft drinks (bottomless refills)
