We do not allow you to take home leftover food. We try to prepare a little more than your guest count to assure everyone gets food, so this may be why there is left over food.

In the chance that more people show up for the event than reserved we will feed these guests at menu cost + $2 per guest. We can’t guarantee that their food will be the same menu item or that it will be out with the rest of the food, but be assured they will get fed!



Can I have my guest choose what they would like?

This is very common with groom’s dinners and plated weddings. Your guests can choose from menu items, as long as you get their orders within the 10 day order mark. So you will need to let us know how many of each food item we need.
