People Often Ask

We've been mastering the art of Southern cuisine since 1976, so you could say we're experts in the field. We're the exclusive providers of food and drink - no outside catering is needed! Our menus are customizable, and we're here to collaborate with you every step of the way.
We offer a variety of options for bar service for your guests. You can add a beverage package, a limited or full bar charged on consumption, limited drink tickers, or opt for no alcohol service offered to the guests. The choice is yours!
You're welcome to bring in decorations! Please avoid decorations that need nails, staples, or permanent adhesion. Candles with real flames need to be contained - we suggest hurricane glass or votives. As much as we love a bit of sparkle, confetti and glitter aren't allowed, but dont' worry, we'll still make sure your event shines.
You'll have 30 minutes of setup time before your event begins, giving you plenty of time to add those special touches. We've also set aside 30 minutes for breakdown afterward, so you can wrap up the celebration stress-free. Need a little extra time to set the stage or say goodbye to your guests? Additional hours may be available at a rate of $250 per hour, depending on restaurant capacity.
We host events in our second-floor dining rooms, accessible by stairs only. If anyone in your group has special requirements, please consult with your sales manager.
While we love our four-legged friends, dogs are only permitted in our outdoor dining spaces. Looking to incorporate your dog in your event? Our private event venue, Poogan's Courtyard (located at 12 Cumberland Street) is fully dog-friendly!
