Private Dining Menu

How to Create Your Private Dinner

Private dining begins at $120 per guest* and includes one salad, one entrée and one dessert selected for the table. Each entrée includes the listed accompaniments.

A 20% service charge is added to all private dining experiences. Additional gratuity is always optional.

Menu Enhancements

Certain premium selections, including USDA Prime beef, lobster, specialty seafood and caviar, carry an additional menu enhancement charge due to the higher cost of these ingredients. Menu enhancement charges are in addition to the base per-person price.

Events outside San Antonio are subject to a $1.50-per-mile travel charge, calculated round trip.

​

*(there are additional staff fees that are based off of total guest count)

Menus are personalized around your occasion, preferences and dietary needs. Chef Mark will help you finalize the selections after availability is confirmed.

Dietary accommodations: Fully vegan & vegetarian menus are not currently offered.
