Menus & Dining
What dining formats are available? Our private dining packages are prix fixe, available in plated or family style formats depending on the room and guest count. We also offer cocktail party packages with passed hors d’oeuvres.
Parties of up to 15 guests may inquire about à la carte dining. Please note that food and beverage minimums will still apply.
What beverage packages are available? We offer a range of beverage packages for every meal period, including soft drinks, specialty cocktails, premium and top shelf open bar options. Packages are priced per person for unlimited beverages. See our beverage menu for full details.
Can you accommodate dietary restrictions and allergies? With advance notice, we can accommodate most dietary needs including gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan, and vegetarian. Our team will work with you to either modify dishes or guide guests through menu options that work for them. For day-of requests, our staff will always do their best to help.
Please know that while we take every precaution, our kitchens are not allergen-free environments — guests with allergies are encouraged to let us know ahead of time. We are not a kosher or halal certified kitchen, however we are able to accommodate pork-free, alcohol-free, and dairy-free menu options.
Can I bring an outside dessert? Yes! Outside cakes and desserts are welcome for a fee of $2.50 per guest. All other outside food is not permitted. We offer a wonderful selection of desserts in-house should you need additional options.
The Space
Is AV equipment available? Yes, AV is available at all of our private dining locations, including a screen, projector, and 1 wireless microphone. Please let us know your needs in advance so we can ensure everything is ready for your event.
Can I bring decorations or outside vendors? We welcome personal touches! Flowers, balloons, table centerpieces, and banners are all permitted. For other décor or vendor requests, please check with our events team in advance.
How are the tables configured? Our private dining rooms are set with rectangular tables, typically seating 8-12 guests per table. Exact configuration varies based on event headcount. Please note that round tables and theater-style seating are not available.
Is the cocktail party option available at all locations? Cocktail party packages are available at The Smith NoMad, Midtown, East Village, Penn Quarter, and River North. Lincoln Square is unable to accommodate cocktail parties given the more intimate nature of the space.
