PLATED EVENTS

Minimum 15 Guests

A premium and often more formal event option is a plated lunch or dinner.

At plated events, our staff serves your seated guests one or more courses.

Possible courses are appetizer, sushi, salad, lunch entree or dinner entree.

Prices shown here are per person, based on offering a single option per guest per course.

If you opt to offer your guests more than one option per course (for example, a choice of entrees),

then additional costs may apply, depending on ingredients and prep time.

Menu planning for this type of event requires two-weeks notice.
